Problem fixed.
The heater blower resistor pack was at fault.
And as far as the RPM's dropping whenever I put it in 1st or reverse well.... that's what happens when you don't ever change your PCV valve...LOL ... Sometimes I am a real a$$!
Runs like a champ now except for the fact that i still see that the blower dims the lights a little whenever it is on high and at a stop...
