Alright guys , first of all , thanks for the inputs , I'm 99% sure we figured what's going on here .
We bypassed all the fuel system including cooling plate/check valve , fed fuel right to the pump to eliminate air or restrictions , ran a little better but was missfiring badly like before .
So at that point I had the following already replaced : injector harness , (6) injectors , (6) injector pass-thru connectors , sensor harness , Fuel shutoff solenoid , engine positioning sensor , TPS , Brand new filter and filter housing . At that point , we realized there are 2 things we did not change already : ECM and fuel pump . Decided to pull the ECM and run the truck with a test ECM , see below what we found .
Ran the truck with the test ECM , 0 issues so far , ordering a reman tomorrow . Turning the ECM upside down you could literally see corroded internal parts falling off of it . Obviously something wrong there . I'll keep you guys posted .

The hole was in lower part of the ecm , right where it sits against the cooling plate , I'm pretty sure water and salt got inside of it and corroded internal parts and circuits , causing the missfire , maybe it affected the pedal circuit and not the cruise (I don't know if that makes any sense but it's just a thoutght) . I'll replace the ECM and cooling plate (was indeed sucking a bit of air thru the plate) and I really hope all this will be behind , this issue was driving me crazy from day 1 since I bought the truck .

The issue was solved after replacing the ECM , if I was you , I'd pull the ECM and swap it for a test ECM to see if it'll cure it . I bought the ECM from Mr. Terry from n14parts.com and I am extremely happy with how it worked out . He gave me a good price and had it rerated from 500hp to 525 for no additional cost , I'd highly recommend buying the ECM from him .
