What's your truck doing? Is it just not idling right or do you have problems while you're driving? What else do you have done?

the inlet in the intake manifold is smaller than the ammount of air coming into it...it's probably throwing off the computer somehow.

It is saying decreased enging power in the odometer screen. its like the computer is shutting down half the motor.
