    Okay so I'm not an expert whatsoever with engines, but I think this intake air temperature is wrong... It's reading 136degrees...
    It's 80 outside and I have the truck in park...

    The thermometer is in the throttle body I believe and by the time the air gets there its pretty warm from engine heat.

    Its fine. It should read 10-20* above outside while you're driving. Idling temps don't mean anything
