I mean specifically to make sure you didn't miss something.

Fuel pressure good?

How old is the exhaust/cats?

fuel pressure is good, the cats and exhaust came with the truck, it has a glass pack that i cut and dumped b/c the rest of it was gonna come off, my oil pressure is at like 35-40 lbs when hot and 50-60 when cold and like 45 when driving, i'm ordering a new exhaust soon w/ a high flow cat?? i guess i'll keep at it..thanks for the help adrianspeeder
