Update: the issue appears to be fixed!
I replaced the ignition switch with a unit from auto tech electronics (comes preprogrammed to your trucks VIN, no need for a dealer!) and so far this seems to have fixed the problem. Truck no longer has rpms all over the place and isn't stalling! The new WIN Module feels distinctly different when I turn the key. It's much tighter, and has 3 distinct positions to it. The old one felt the same all the way through which I guess I had just grown used to. I'm going to drive my truck for a few days and make sure the problem is fixed, but from what I've seen so far the WIN Module was definitely the problem. I hope these posts help someone else going forward! We all covered a lot of ground troubleshooting and I'm sure that will pay off for someone in the future. Thanks to everyone who helped me solve this 4 month long, super annoying intermittent problem!
