Temperature not hot enough...

The dryer is not drying properly with any size load. When I put it on High it's as if it's on low.

0 interesting issue, with the number of parts you providied id be willing to ri\ule out the thermistor #85777274(genarlly when this goes bad you get a fault code of some sorts}, and also the 3403140( youd get absolutly no heat if this part were bad.), and lastly the flame sensor is doubtful as well probly replaced 2 in my whirlpool career( the window may be dirty and need wiping but problably not that either. I honestly would have went with hthe sears guy as far ads the venting, its the number one issue with all dryeres. too long to dry = innadaquate vent . but being youve ruled that out as well. trust me an ew vent is woth the 30 dollar investrment you took. id be willing to bet you have a bad set of valve coils(locatged ontop of the gas valve, easily replace for about 20 bucks. what ends to happen is that they fire just fine for the first 20 min or so of the cycle and then the get too hot/ overheat adn dont allow the flame to reignitre for the last portion of the drying period. untill the cool down enought to once again fire the flame.. part #279834 I woulda replaced them the second time out just to rule them out (if i was the sears guy) sure he had at least 6 sets on his truck ( i know I do)
