my truck seems to be starting to do this. runs fine up by my work when i leave, then once i get on the freeway running 75-80mph it runs fine all the way up until i have to stop at the end of the freeway it idles pretty dang rough until i have sat in stop and go traffic for a few minutes. also my oil temp gets up to around 210* sometimes 212* if i'm at 80mph long enough. seems like it runs good again around 200* of EOT. don't know, maybe i have a similar kind of problem or something...

First Hellifixer good find on the pin.

Kris
either you brake pedal switch is bad and locking out your tc or you have a pin issue at the tranny grounding it out (combo of both) . But I would say its you brake pedal switch. Change it out.
