Get: 1) new mechanic; the one suggested is probably much better and 2) a new oil cap.

What are the day/night ambient temps where you live?
I don't think anyone has addressed the transmission shifting issue. The normal operation of the transmission is not shift into overdrive until the engine comes up to operating temp in order to promote faster warmup and lower exhaust emissions. Other gears are not impacted.
Old oil will smell. Change it and run for 500 miles and see if you have the same and as strong of a smell.
This is super helpful! Thank you for this.
too bad the temp gauge doesn't move until you're already overheating :/
Can always use obd2 bluetooth and a good app to keep a better eye on temps!!!

^^^^^ Actually not even full operating temperature but 130° F. (coolant temp). Many folks do not know that about the transmission and wrongly think something is amiss with the trans.
Unable to do a video.If you can, would you mind posting a video of your vehicle idling?
Start the vehicle, then begin video on driver side fender, walk around to the front and then down the passenger side fender. That way we can hear all the noises.
If the head gasket was done at 100k, that would move it down the list of issues. Those records show a lot of servicing and care went into this rig. nice find.
Heck yes if you'd like to that would be stellar. I set an appt with @MURPH for tomorrow.I’m up that way (Glendale/Peoria) about once a week. I could make time to swing by and see the truck to give it a look...
As Tools said, he or Murf would be good choices to look it over in more of a shop setting
