It could be many things, when was the truck tuned up last?
I know it sounds silly, but you have to start diagnosing somewhere, plus your description of your problems are vague. Give us more info so we can help you better.

For a start remove the iac and clean the pintle and that general area with carb or throttle body cleaner. If it hasn't been servviced in a while it is usually gummed up. Check the wiring connector to make sure the contacts are clean.

Sounds a lot like a fuel pressure issue to me. have you checked your fuel pressure at the fuel rail?

Check computer codes.
Clean IAC on throttle body
Check for vacuum leaks

Up near the top on the left there is a user cp. Click it, go in there and edit signature, and you can make one up. Might want to check more of the settings in there too, personalize it to your liking!

Ok so when you click into user cp, theres no edit signatures, right at the top of the options? Like on mine its control panel, then settings and options, tehn right under that is edit signature.
