Treadmills are very cushioning and that is where you have done a bulk of your training. so you may consider going back to alot of treadmill work and slowly weaning yourself off of it with some outside dirt runs.
Of course I really have no idea, just throwing out things and hoping they stick.

Also, if I recall you didn't really cut down on your mileage when you switched to the road. Everything I've read says that you need to cut your mileage in half when switching from one to the other and then slowly increase it each week.
As far as the IT band goes I feel for you fuegote. It's a frequent battle for me. I think a lot of the problem is that all of our activity is linear and forward and the abductors get weak. I've been doing a lot of exercises for the t.f.l. and I've stayed pain free for a while now. I think that's been helping a ton.
