new injectors....i installed them....2 were leaking....fixed the one.....the other leaks a tiny tiny bit. when i fixed the one the truck seems to have a slight lope in park. when in gear it goes away. also when i give it a little gas it seems to miss till about 800rpm then it goes away. lift pump going? no white smoke at all so i doubt timing. could it be that tiny injector leak? injectors are 5x14's

600 it a little low. I think it's should be around 800 with AC on...

It's definitely low. I have my idle at 1000. Then in gear it drops to 750.

Yeah, should be 750-800 in drive with the a/c on. I would bump it up and see if it improves.

I was having similar problems (even stalling when cold some times) and my idle was close to yours .. bumped to just shy of 1k park and just under 800 in gear and problems when a way .. i would do that first ... if problem is still there check timing ( can never hurt to be sure) and go from there
