Another issue I am having is with the tranny. I think its bad but I'll see if I can explain what its doing.

When I am in drive. It goes but it acts like a slipping clutch and when I floor it then let off it will shift. But if I drive around in 1st or 2nd it is fine. I talked to my dad about it and since im pretty sure the E4OD is all electronic hes not sure.. I had an older chevy back in the day and it was doing the same thing and ended up just being a vacume line not connected. It acts just like if you were in a standard truck and kept it floored in a gear without shifting. Then I let off the pedal and it shifts to the next gear.... Any ideas?

Improper signal from the TPS will make the transmission have weird symptoms as well. The PCM uses the TPS signal to calculate when to shift the transmission.
