I got a distress call from Aaron last night needing troubleshooting help/advice. The truck isn't happy. I'll let him explain when he gets on, but I was somewhat shocked at the problem he has now..

It's not a tuning issue or any sort of electronic issue. It's a mechanical issue for sure.

Don't worry about it. Long story and not to the end.
Next week it'll be sorted out.

WHEW!.....I've spent the last two days (works been slow) reading this thread and I must say it has taken me on an emotional roller coaster. I've laughed, cried, loved, hated, thrown chit, and picked chit back up. I've had at least three orgasms and once even needed a cigarette (and I don't smoke)! Presently I'm cowering behind the keyboard, just peeking around the corners as if I'm watching a horror flick unfold, yet ever hopeful that the demons are slain and salvation reigns!....This has become more addictive than sex! Now I'm looking at my bone stock, NO PROBLEMS, '96 F250XL 7.3 wondering just how I want to go about pulling the cap off the top and pouring in some power mods!....BRAVO Aaron!!, stay after it pal, you're an inspiration! This old Arkie is routing for your team!.........the suspense is about to kill me!

Well, I say no problems...the cruise control has become an issue but I've narrowed that to the PSOM and will shipping the unit off for rebuild as soon as fundage permits. As far as the way the truck runs, I couldn't ask for better performance.
