Is this all the time??
See if this helps.
Disconnect the battery, turn and hold the key to the start position for 10sec to erase the PCM, then turn the key to the off position. Reconnect the battery, and start the truck. Let it run for 30-60sec without touching the gas, the idle will be running high. Shut the truck off, wait 30sec and then restart. Should be fine after that.
