2000 k3500 idle surges in gear

I just bought a 2000 k3500. So far the only problem is the idle surges,only when the truck is in gear and up to operating temp. The idle will surge from 650 to 1100 rpm. I think I probably have a bad sensor. Maybe coolant temp or egr valve. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

None of those.
2000 MY was equipped with a choice of 5.7,6.5 or 7.4 in the 3500 series.
Engine size would be helpful, have you checked for vacum leaks?

vacum leaks was my first thought as well. There doesn't seem to be any. Maybe IAC motor?
Thanks again.
