If you ask, they'll check for any codes you have, whether there's a CEL or not. At least around here they do. And when someone says they can't check for codes, even if they haven't invested in a code reader, there's no excuse unless you don't have a single Advance, Autozone, O'Reilly's, Pepboys, or Napa around.
OP, I agree with the Geek. Send that short throw shifter back (useless in these trucks) and use the money to get a code reader. It's like a vacuum gauge from back in the day; working on your own cars, you can't not have one in your toolbox.

I also think this is a MAF issue, or some metering sensor problem. Sounds like it's not adding enough fuel to compensate for more air. If it is a MAF problem that bad, you'll have a code.
