Still Stalled out when the engine came down when I stopped the truck when driving. So what controls idle speed when you come to a stop and so on cause that might be my problem. Would that be the CPS or is it something else I feel like Im getting close now. Please I really wanna just go out and drive, I need a drive high lol.

Just a thought: Reset the PCM again, then start 'er up and go to the nearest place where you can maintain a 40MPH cruise for a minute or two. It's cruising (no load, no throttle adjustment required to maintain speed) at ~40MPH when the PCM recalibrates the IAC.

From your slideshow, I like the cupholders, but the orphaned light the back seat, give 'em a home!

Looks cold up there. Any chance or opportunity to check fuel pressure on the rail in addition to all the other fine suggestions? Perhaps you've ruled that out though.

Lol yeah the lights are going up on the fron as soon as I get a bull bar. I did check the pressure when I double checked the pump and it builds up to 65 and it stays there so yeah nailed it on the head. Its damn cold and we are getting a foot of snow in like every 2 hours YAY

Well i went for a cruise and dealt with the stalling because I couldnt stand just looking and working on the truck. The drive was great it stalled 4 out of 12 or more stops so it's not as bad as it was. Its all back at square 1 and still thinking and i appreciate all the help so far.
