I figure the apprentice who took the intake off did so without unbolting the cable as it would take quite a bit of force to pull that cable apart. The truck drives great now, shifts up and down as it should. Now I'll start monitoring the fuel economy( which is how all this started). I only drive this truck on the days when it's dry, as they really salt the roads here in the winter, so it may take some time.
glad they figured it out..

u would nvr have this issue w/ a manual tranny. 5 spd. swap FTW!
