I have the same truck .. I'd check out the throttle body on this issue, since the TPS has already been considered. Clean it up and see what happens.

Run engine to operational temp and shut it down, clean throttle body, remove and clean the IAC and passages, reinstall the IAC, start engine and wait for it to clear out the cleaner and start idling, shut off engine, unplug the IAC and see if it will start and idle at a very low speed, if it does then plug in the IAC with the engine running, if the idle speed increases then the IAC is operational and that should be it. If the idle speed does not increase then the IAC is not working or you have computer or wiring issues. All of this is assuming that everything else is up to par.
