Two things pop to mind with this truck, first these motors are notorious for having bad intake gaskets take a flashlight and look very carefully around the valley of your intake/block-head seal you'll possibly see either antifreeze leaking or a weird looking whitish or greenish sort of foam you can also use propane around the seal and look for obvious idle changes, I have done tons of these intakes in my shop, the other two things I would suspect if that looks fine are 02 sensors, or maf sensor.
