Could be bad neutral start switch. Could check that it's getting power/signal on the pigtail to the switch.

I'm not super familiar with the auto trans stuff on these trucks but it's possible that its idling weird due to the neutral switch issue. Possibly cant tell what gear it's in to properly adjust idle speed.
