Idle speed is rated at 800rpm +/-50rpm. So if it's going below 750rpm, yes, you have a problem.

Just a wild guess, and let fly without going through the usual check vacuum, fuel pump/filter etc., it could be that your clutch is not releasing fully.

Does it exhibit the same symptom if you shift into neutral and coast to a stop as opposed to holding the clutch in until it stops?

the belt looks fine and the battery turns the engine fine most of the time, could it be an altenator?

You just said the lights were pulsing with rpm. That shouldn't happen because your battery acts as a buffer, so when your alternator is at low rpm or not putting out around 14v, it will draw from the battery at that point. Usually what happens is when the battery goes bad, it will cause your alternator to go bad as well. Due to the fact you won't necessarily notice your battery is dying, until your alternator goes bad because you've been over using the alternator because the battery is weak. Has the battery been changed within 5-7 years? Is the alternator belt tight? Is there corrosion on the terminals? Are the terminals tight?

thier all tight. and i dont know about the battery i just got the truck a year ago, however when the truck is idling it is fine the lights and heater are good, and when i rev it up they dont get bright or dim, it only pulses when i mash the clutch in, or throw the truck in neutral and coast to a stop. and once i stop they will pick back up, and if i start to roll downhill without lettin out on the clutch or just put it in neutral the truck wont pulse, it maintains the same rpm

Unplug the vacuum hose to your EGR valve & see if that solves the low/pulsing idle. If so, your EGR is staying open.

i had that problem and the vaccuum lines were misxed up concering the egr, vsv, and the actuator causing it to open and make it flutter only when slowing down and would go away the moment i stopped. re routed lines acording to diagram and checked for leaks and it hasn't done it since

Ok i unpluged the vaccum line from the top section of my EGR, and drove it down the road, and my problem was fixed, it coasted up to the stop sign without pulsing or anything.!! i got out and plugged it back in, and it all started back up again, so please telll me, Can i cap off the line and just drive the truck? do i need a new EGR valve? Are my lines all mixed up? whats my problem lol
