2K Idle Speed; Another Problem (long)

I have a 2k 4.7 CC 4X4 5 speed and have not had any of the problems that have
been reported. If I'm coming to a stop and push in the clutch, it will
generally sit at 1000 then work it's way down to about 600 with a few minor
slight fluctuations. It has never stalled on me during this procedure. So I
would guess there is something wrong with either my truck because it works ok
or the numerous ones that have reported the problem. I can't really help
though on what the problem may be.

Subject: DML: 2K Idle Speed; Another Problem (long)

  Almost since I bought my 2K club cab (4.7, 5sp, 4wd), I had the idle search
problem that several other DML members have complained of. For those not
familiar with it, whenever the engine is warm and I come to a stop, the idle
climbs to @1000 rpm and falls to @550 rpm. It would occasionally stall on the
downstroke, sometimes at very inappropriate moments, i.e. steep parking
garage ramp with sharp turn and stop sign at bottom. It hasn't stalled in
awhile, but the fluctuation is still obvious. After a couple inconvenient
trips to the dealer and a new engine control module later, the problem wasn't
fixed. They told me months ago that there would be a new flash update program
and/or PCM and I'm still waiting.
