EVERYTHIING It is a brand new Aluminum block motor with a 5.7 V8 4x4 1500, brand new transmission, 3 sets of wires ive gone through because they laid on the headers, bought a kit fixed that, but it still misses and idk if its the Fuel and air mixture, or if I need plugs, the K&N filter needs to be cleaned but it doesn't sound like its the problem, and I changed the sending unit for the temp gage because it would fluctuate back and forth and now its doing that again, the motor has some modifications like a bigger fan and a spacer and idk what to do

SOURCE: I have a 1995 gmc

I would try removing and plugging the vacuum line that goes to the EGR valve. If this solves your problem, you may have an EGR valve that was calibrated for a different vehicle and is adding too much exhaust during cruise. This problem can also be caused by a MAF sensor that is not "seeing" all the air that is entering the engine and causing it to run lean at cruise. Tough to say which one. If it were me, I'd try and find a loaner MAF sensor to try...maybe an auto wrecker? Either way, make sure your ignition timing is correct and the plugs are gapped properly. Low timing and a worn timing chain can also cause this problem. I suspect that this truck has high miles?

97sebring 2.5 litre(is it interference or non interference engine

Yes I double Salkim08's solution. Since your motor is made from Aluminum, this could be a big sign that it is an interferance motor. Aluminum expands twice as much as iron. Most old fashion V motors ( v6's V8's) are made with an Iron block and Aluminum heads. But new Transverse motors( sideways front wheel drive motors), block and cylinder head, are made of aluminum.
