Mine idles pretty smooth, if you aren't getting any check engine light, it
could be a non-seating fuel injector, or sticking fuel injector,
distributor cap, wires. My point is you will probably have to let the
Dealer take a look at it.

The bed mounts directly to the frame through the bed bolts, maybe one isn't

The bushings on the clutch pedal shaft appear to be nylon, try to find a
product called *SIL-GLYDE" it is in a spray can and is specifically made
for things like this.
