One more thing i did was i double checked the bolts on the intake manifold and i tighten them up a little. When i mean a little im talking about a hair of a turn. Do you think i have a intake gasket issue thats giving me the miss? Can that be possible???????

Well stupid me i went to tighten down the intake gaskets a little bit and it was not a smart thing to do. i ended up changing out the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets and BANG the truck runs great. :D

Thanks
