why did it just start idling poor?

Also, I hate inspections too. My truck will NOT complete the readiness tests with the 2002 operating system in, so I have to use a 2000 6.0/4l80e OS. And for anyone that doesn't know, there are significant differences in the fueling and air tables between the two OS's. So essentially, I'd have to completely re-tuen to run the 00 OS. The truck is already running like ****, and the tech jacks the AC up only making it run worse lol.

Drove it to my old work last time I was in town, and a guy with a badass hot rod pulled in right in front of me. Of course my truck starts trying to die repeatedly while I'm backing into a spot and I feel like a dumbass. He did comment on the truck but I felt stupid because it was surging and wanting to die.
