check you cable to see if there are any sharp turns or bends in it..it could be binding up around areas like that

does the pedal return nicely or will it stick, If there were to sharp of bends in the cable I think it would stick at a certain rpm.

Stiff pedal seems to be a trait of these trucks...

Just try to hold one pedal position, even if it means going 80 downhill and 60 up hill. This will also help ALOT with gas milage.
