Trust me, im at the point that im putting my truck up for sale...

So have you looked at the FPDM? How does the seal on your air box look (its on the tray that your air filter sits in, then you slide it in the air box). Have your O2 sensors ever been changed? Keep at it

Not necessarily, when mine went south it would barely run and never threw a code.

Yes, the sponge seal on the airbox tray. O2 sensors are only teally good for 75-100k. If you have over that, replace them anyway for optimum gas mileage.

Not to sound mean, but you seem to rely on codes being thrown an awful lot. Preventive maintenance is always better than waiting for a code to be thrown before replacing something.

The sponge seal is gone, theres no seal anymore :s
My truck's got pretty much everything new, only things I haven't replaced is: O2 sensors, FPDM, fuel pump, cats, MAF (cleaned MAF and TB). Besides those, everything else is brand new, that's why I'm kinda hesitant about keep changing parts and not getting results
