and the idle i wanted to raise to about 700 rpms, i monitored the batt voltage and idle rpms, and noticed the voltage would go as low as 12v with a 515 rpm.. it usually hovers around 600rpm/ 14 v when the truck is in park with no load on the engine
It sounds like the WOT 1-2 shift is set way too high and so is your rev limit. The new numbers you posted sound fine, but I'd probably set the rev limit to 5600.

Why not try 625-650 rpm for idle? One problem with raising the idle speed is that it fights your brakes when you are trying to slow down, which, of course results in more brake wear.
