Ok got a new IAC, readjusted the TPS again, and now ides at 800 in park and 600-650 in drive. I have more idle hours than miles on this dang motor so far.

You realize, that at idle, you are getting zero miles per gallon?

Hey, you have the problem solved, and now it should be far safer to drive. (and less exciting in one aspect at least.) So, DRIVE it. Enjoy. Ya know ya wanna.

HeyYou, yes I want to drive it, It has been 3 years, but there is a few things stopping me, Down here in S.C. we have to pay property taxes on vehicles before registering them, then put back on insurance. I own my own glass business and I have a hard time getting to the tax office during the day, and then go to DMV and stand in line forever. So possibly this Saturday hoping to get it all done. The only thing now is I don't have to sit in the truck making motor noise's any more LMAO!!!!

Are you kidding me, It all started with a quart of moon shine and a case of beer, a buddy of mine and I were in the front seats drinking and started acting like we were out mud bogging, with a roaring engine and bouncing around. It was quite a comedy.
