Mines does not surge, but in the morning, and only sometimes, if I just start it up and try to put it into reverse, it will chug and sound like it wants to die it. It will idle rough for a couple of minutes or so until it warms up, usually only in gear, when you put a load on the engine.

I'm in the same boat Mike. Tried most of what you have and still have the idle issue, however, my truck has not thrown a code yet. I'm going to go through and re-check all the coil boots and apply some dielectric grease this weekend, hopefully.

Well here's where my problems leading... multiple missfire #5 & #10 have coded. I got
#5 to quiet down #10 keeps coding. Replaced the plugs and the elbow. Other things done new O2 sensors cleaned the maf. The old plugs looked lean with the exception of 5&10.
My neighbor came over and said he had seen this before and claims its the Intake gasket. The fact that 5&10 seem to be probmatic He's most likely right..
