Whenever I put my truck in park the rpm's drop and the engine almost cuts out, this only happens when the truck is in park. Anyone have any ideas?

You might start by cleaning the Idle Air Control Motor. (see project link)

My 2 cents: I think it's easier in the long run just to replace the IAC. Cleaning it seems to be only a temporary fix in my experience, so you end up pulling it again a few months after cleaning it.

You have an '07. Is it still in warranty? If so let ford fix it.

It's an 01, thanks for the tips I'll give it a shot later on today.

Yesterday, I cleaned my IAC for the first time on my 2001 ST. I went through a lot of Q-Tips and 91% isopropyl alcohol! Lots of black build-up. While in the area, I also found a cracked EGR elbow and replaced it with a piece of 5/8" heater hose with a 90-degree premolded bend. Idles great, now.
