Hope your move goes smoothly.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Okay so I haven't messed with the IAC yet because there's so much to do aronud the house but I did lay under the truck and check for play in the drive shaft via the tranny and rear diff. All was good there so i cautiousely layed under the truck and had someone put it in gear while I watched and as soon as if is placed in any forward or reverse gears the drive shaft immediately slams into rotation. I'm just glad that the guy doing this actualy listened to me and maintained a heavy foot on the break pedal. I think I am going to disconnect Lock up wire and try the same thing to seeif maybe it is the lock up staying engaged. If not it coule be some sticky valves and or ck balls causing high line pressures and thus the slamming into gear.

 Are there any good safe aditives that may help my valve body and free it up if this in the problem.

Well I took off my EGR finally and guess what... it was suck wide open. So now that it is taken care of the stalling issue is 90% better. during my testing I did make the engine stall but I litterally had to make it. My rpm's did come doen but the shifting is still overly hard.
