As your truck is running EFI, see if you can get the fault codes from the ECU. It will save guessing. My guess - the IAC (idle air control valve) is either gummed up or non functioning.

I see your truck is an 88' which would indicate that its carbureted but your engine is listed as a 4g64 used in the 1990 and newer trucks that were EFI. is your engine swapped?
