An update: After quite awhile, it did finally throw a code. P0300. Not too helpful, but did give some direction. I started with the easiest. Replaced plugs with AC Delco iridiums, and put a new wire set on. I have learned not to start this job on one of these trucks without a new set of wires on hand lol. Anyways, by golly, that solved all of the problems. it runs smooth now. It has not gotten to all sensors ready status yet-- waiting for evap still -- but there are no codes pending.

That’s great. Just wondering if any of the wires were frayed or had exposed wire that was shorting out or if you noticed any bad plugs?

It could have also been a plug that was not properly seated into its mount. Usually when a spark plug job is done the number 8 plug is the hardest to get in and out in the back corner on the passenger side and often times it isn’t fully seated which will cause a miss. That’s what happened with my 6.0 last summer when I did plugs. Though mine did it all the time. Not just when hot.
