It could be your TPS, but I think that is supposed to throw a code.

If your not throwing a code it's hard to tell. Mine had a bag ignition coil and it idled low and funky like that but it threw a code and was fixed. Doesn't hurt to check it though.

TPS is throttle position sensor and can cause erratic idle and stalling. How many miles are on your truck? Have you done all the recommended maintenance?

have you cleaned the TB(throttle body)? if not get some throttle body, and air intake cleaner from advance, and clean that puppy, it makes a difference in throttle response, as wel as makes for a smoother idle
