My truck used to do that too for as long as I owned it, but at a lower rpm, like just off idle. I believe it was the PCM torque management. It went away completly on my truck when I got my B&G PCM with TM removed.

At 3000 rpm though, I think you might have a different issue. When was the last tune-up?

Disconnect the negative battery terminal for a minute (some say 30 seconds, I like to make sure). Then reconnect. That resets the computer.

It'll take approximately 40 miles-ish before the computer relearns its stuff.

Yes, you should disconnect the battery, then turn the ignition key to start for about 25-30 seconds. This drains the memory module in the PCM, and all remaining electrical current is discharged. Then reconnect.
