terry,
since cat had so many different upgrades on the configurations on these trucks a full model and serial number might be more helpful so we can make a more definitive determination of what is on this truck.

As a general diagnosis though what edward said is one of the first things to look for when this problem occurs. A binding throttle plate in the throttle body can cause high idle problems and these systems are notorious for gumming up causing all sorts of issues.
You can remove the mixer cover and diaphragm and clean that, then squirt some cleaner down the mixer body throat and clean that out as well.
Then when you go to start the engine, it may not want to start so just keep trying till it gets running and hold the throttle wide open till it catches up and all cylinders clear up and it starts running as it should, then let it go back to idle and see if that helped.
If not then i would look at a binding mechanical issue inside the TB.
Like edward said, if the accelerator sensor is out of adjustment the engine will not accelerate at all until that is calibrated correctly and the adjustment is set correctly.

if none of this works then we'll just have to dig deeper which will mean the full 'corrrect' model and serial number of the truck.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
