Idle "Surges"

I have noticed latley that my '99 V10's idle will sometimes surge for a second then drop back to normal. It seems to be doing it more and more. It is bad enough that if you aren't careful holding down the brake pedal at a stop light, the whole truck will creep forward.

I am thing maybe a bad IAC. Unfotunetly I am not real sure where it is located.

Thanks for any help!!

Jeff

PS. The truck has 65,000 miles on it. Up until now I haven't had a single think wrong!

Yes thats the IAC.
Go up to the Superduty Forum and click on the tech file at the top of the page
it will show you a pic where the IAC is.
Its on the back side of the Throttle body (silver looking canister thing)

Thanks for the quick reply! Is the IAC a smart thing to buy from the "Stealer" or can I picl one up from an autoparts store? How much do they cost?

Thanks!!

Jeff
