I've determined it is not a transmission problem. Looks to be a throttle body issue according to the scan I did this morning with my ODB scanner. Could very clean it up with some throttle body cleaner for less than $20 or even if I have to change it it shouldn't be over $200.
Glad you liked that analogy. I think the setting around let the carbon harden up on the throttle body not allowing the throttle disc to fully close.
Changing the trans is a bigger job than I wanted to tackle having to work without a lift and so I am excited that it doesn't appear to be that problem. I can work from the topside of the truck without issue, getting under and wrestling a trans is a different story.
Thanks for the support!
