Some more for your list:
check EGR valve operation
check PCV
check air cleaner
check timing, and firing order
check for restricted air vent or idle passages
do a leak down test, may be poor sealing of valves
check for a vacuum leak
when your done I'll give some more

I have a new tps installed and new fuel tank and sending unit in the tank so I guess the fuel pump on the frame rail is what I need to check

Fraid so
Looks like you and your uncle have covered a lot of the base's on that truck. There is always the possibility that a new item is at fault. It would not hurt to run some testing on some of them. The coil for example, or take a close look at the cap (more than one was sold with a crack in it) and a vacuum test could be very helpful (vacuum was my problem). I would start at the beginning checking each item, even the spark plugs. The problem cannot hide forever

Is this the part of the movie where we're supposed to warn folks to replace just ONE part at a time and then check the results?......
