If it stays started, it takes a couple of minutes for the idle to smooth out. Then comes the next problem:
When I take the truck out on the road, it waits until the absolute last possible minute to shift to the next gear and, when it does, it shifts with a kick that could give you whiplash. It will do this through all the gears. Once it has shifted through all of the gears, however, the truck then runs fine with no more issues for the rest of the day.
There is no CEL, btw.
Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks for the replies.

Sounds kinda like stiction. When was your truck last reflashed?
