Your idle my be a little to high,but likely this could be a "Fuel" delivery problem.
(Fuel filter,failing pump,clogged injectors,clogged pick up screen,clogged strainer at the carb)

What you will desire to take heed to for is this. whilst the truck is located into opposite does the engine substitute revs. once you shift from park to opposite orpersistent the engine idle would desire to drop. in case you do no longer hear the engine idle drop then the trans is the two low on fluid or long previous kaput as reported earlier. examine the fluid lever and notice if its black in colour or pink, it is going to be pink. one ingredient that would ensue is the tranny would have water in it. This got here approximately to me, my trans cooler in my radiator became leaking and putting fluid into the trans, which destroyed it. This led to the trans to fasten up and the idle in no way replaced from park topersistent. If it became in basic terms the opposite equipment undesirable it would nevertheless roll down the driveway, appears like the the remainder of the tranny is approximately to bypass additionally.

The engine is misfiring or is losing the crank and cam sensor signals.
Depending on the year, make, model and engine.
a misfire can be fixed by new spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor button and/or ignition coil.
a lose of crank or cam sensor signal can only be diagnosed by a shop.

Sounds like a power problem. Almost like your truck is not getting enough fire from sparkplugs. Or your distributor cap is cracked. start with replacing the plugs.

Is it setting an error codes on the computer? You might have a misfire, or some bad gas with water in it.

Need more info than that to answer your question.
Which truck (year and model)?
Which engine does it have?
How many miles?
Recent basic maintenance history? Done on schedule?
Transmission ever serviced? (did they use the right tranny fluid?)

I also would say that it could use a tune-up or a fuel filter change.
