Sounds to me like a massive vacuum leak if the truck is idling waaaaay up high. Also if yours is fuel injected it might be your Idle Air Control motor which is attached to the side of your throttlebody.

Get a few cans of non-flammable brake parts cleaner and start hosing down hoses and fittings, with truck parked and at idle. If an air leak sucks the stuff up engine idle will changes.
