if i send a check to collections with the words ''cashing this check constitutes payment in full'' and they cash the check, legally, can they still come after me for the rest of the payment?

Yes and they probably will. There are some old Pennsylvania cases in point holding that such a notation is not sufficient to establish an affirmative defense for the balance due. You are better off negotiating with them and agreeing to a figure.
