    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    If it were the booster it would do it in neutral too. Sounds like a tranny issue to me.

    Disregard that. If it started when you did the seafoam treatment, then that is where problem lies

    What could be the problem with the vacuum line? Loose or something not creating a good enough seal or what I'm not 100% on how it really works and how it effects the motor

    How long did you let the seafoam in for? Did you have the motor at operating temp before you induced it into the system? Did you only use 1/3 of the bottle? How long did you let the truck sit after you shut it off with the seafoam in it?

    A couple of seconds. Yes it was at operating temp. It was a little more than 1/3 of the bottle. Like 10 min maybe less.

    Throttle position sensor?

    When it was malfunctioning on my truck it would idle too high when I was stopped.

    I've been told it could also has the reverse effect: idle too low when stopped.

    On the side of the throttle body, there is a test you can do on it using an OHM meter I believe.
