I've had the truck going on 3 yrs and have only replaced the iac and fpr so far.
A "PCM reflash" at the dealer might cure this, Ive had this fix alot of 99-00 trucks with shifting problems.

An intermittent VSS signal can cause the PCM to command second gear.

Debris on top of the spacer plate or in the valve body or a leaking shift solenoid can cause a 4L60E to start in a gear higher than first.
