Update.
Well as you all know my truck was getting poor mileage.
Then the other day it broke down.
I did the stand pipes dummy plugs and ipr(that was the culprit)
Well I did my usual friday drive(camp ground)
had half a tank, and the needle barely moved! I was pleasntly surprised about that.
Totally stock, no tunes, and averaged about 65-70mph trying my best to keep it under 2k rpm.
I hope it stays this way for sometime.....I have new fuel filters and an air filter waiting to go in. hopefully it improves it some also.
Normally id use 1/4 tank going up there.
Again, as always thank you all for your help, and support.

The trans issue still is around, when i go to take it out of park it will be hard to get it outta D. im not sure. i might call ford, but i really cannot afford anything out of pocket right now. work is slow, bills never seem to go away.
I kept telling myself i wish my truck would just break down so the problem would get solved. so i hope i got what i asked for haha

On the trans issue, how does your cruise control act? I had the problem of it being hard to get outta P to D without pushing real hard on the brake. Also when CC on it would not disengage when brake was applied. I got a new brake switch that goes on the brake pedal arm and it took care of the problem. There was a guy with the same issue and he said he got his part at Napa. I paid around $40 for the switch, I think he said he paid around $20. When I spoke with the tech that did my oil cooler R&R he said that sometime the wires at the brake arm would break or the switch would just go bad!
