Sounds like a good time to clean the IAC and the TB while it's off

IAC = Idle Air Control Solenoid

My truck was doing the same..The dealer found the intake gasket sucked in. This helped it and lately they reprogramed the computer.They said there was a couple earlier reports on this.. Try this and see what happens

Well it seems like my idle problem has gotten better. I think my truck needed to get used to the new pump. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
