On C-clip axles, some in/out play is perfectly normal. If it's less than 1/4 inch, don't even worry about it.

Alright...I, did a hard reset of the ECU yesterday and double checked the plugs and wires...all looked ok. Drove truck to work today, put 100 miles on her...no CEL. Park in the driveway after driving home...CEL comes on RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Hulk smash!
Codes P0300/p0301/02/08. W.T.F.!!!!!! I'm literally at my wits end with this effin truck.
I can't think of anything else left that it can be??????

im on my 3rd crank sensor,1st one died(no start) then put a bwd sensor in, ran fine but got random misfire codes, then bought a Delphi sensor with major improvements!!! I have since replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor and finally all 4 o2 sensors(I have a California model) and I think I can honestly say the downstream sensors is what my true problem was,my throttle response improved greatly after that,are you able to test your o2 sensors with your obdwiz??

I'll take a look and see. I know it reads the sensors. What should I test them for?

You can read the data, but, that will be fairly meaningless...... Unplug it, and see if the truck runs any better. If it does, replace it.
