Help with distributor 5.9 gas 2500

Ok i reset the pcm started it (hard start mind you) drove it for about 15 minutes took it on the highway (first time since ive owned it i took it up that fast) Still idles at 600 and seems like its chugging at stops and stopped at lights. Sort of pulsing. Also there is a tremendous noise coming from the trans tunnel area when i let off the gas (ujoint issue maybe?) And the abs and brake lights popped on when i turned on my street. Possibly from corrosion from sitting? Truck sat for almost 2 years i think because the previous guys thought the tranny was blown. That was governor pressure solenoid issue. It didnt generate a check engine light...yet. worried that maybe the 8 spark plug is missing due to a clogged cat? Heard that was an issue with these. Truck has a ton of miles on it. Any input would be great. Thanks

Take off the throttle body, and thoroughly clean it, make sure to remove the IAC motor on the back of the TB, and clean it's bore REALLY well.
While its off, take a look down into the plenum area of the intake, if you see oil pooling in there, it's time to fix it. Burning oil destroys cats, and O2 sensors, and can give you a whole host of strange running problems.

I just did the intake gaskets when i did the disttibutor. That was maybe a week and a half ago. The throttle body wouldnt budge off the intake when i had it out. All the bolts were out but that thing wouldnt move. I never cleaned the IAC when i had the intake off either. Any tricks to getting the throttle body off...without smacking it with a hammer?

Four bolts and a paper gasket....... If it is stuck on there, that may be part of your idle problem. (indicates a LOT of crap there.)
If it is truly reluctant, put a drift against it at the base, and tap GENTLY till it lets go. (a drift is simply a punch, with a blunt point. That way, you try and MOVE things, rather than put dents in the metal.)
