Hi Leslie and welcome to the forum

How many miles on your truck? How old are the spark plugs? Fuel filter? Ever clean the MAF sensor?

The IAT is in the air intake tube from the air cleaner to the throttle body. It's about half way in between, on the back of the tube.

thinking of lowering the gears in the rearend to help in towing my fifthwheel . my truck is a 2000 f 150 4.6 two wheel drive it currently has
3.55 gears what would be a good drop for towing and highway driving .also what would be a good prce to pay in canada and do you have a phone number

Other than having the injectors cleaned, I really don't know what else to look for since it seems to run fine.

As long as they are all about the same, all should be ok. I would think that over 100psi should be normal.
