the truck started a hunting idle yesterday, but only once its been idling a little bit and it comes and goes. its not a normal hunting idle that does it at idle all the time when warmed up so i suppose i am going to be checking for vacuum leaks first. and no check lights, which is fine.

While you are at it, clean the mass Air Flow sensor and the Throttle body. Amazon has the CRC two-pack
CRC MAF & Throttle Body Single-Use Twin Pack, 1 Kit
Use the specific cleaner for the specific part.
As Rusty mentioned, the Idle Air Control valve may be faulty. Found a great video here:
Thank you for your service,
