strange idle..
When i go out to warm up the truck in the mornings and crank it up it idles kinda strange... smooth but erratically it jumps a little.. not much only about 50 rpms or so but its just as if the fuel pedal had been tapped... After a while it smooths out and it doesnt do it anymore... normal??

When that is happening look at your charge hand (volts). If you notice the sound change when the hand (Volts) drops back a bit its the grid heaters cycling and its the alternator that's pulling down the rpms. That's why after it warms a bit it stops because the grids shut off.
