Well...I think you were right. I did a voltage drop test. Voltage at battery 12.50. Voltage on pink cable to coils, and other sensors, ~12.5. With engine running, 10.2 on sensors. So I traced it back to my main fuse harness. I have it plugged to the truck's fuse box. It wasn't making a good connection and you could see it arcing. So I am going to run a power cable with a fuse directly from the battery instead. The transmission was not shifting correctly as well when it was stumbling. I'll make a change and see what happens.
