Okay thanks for the advice. A quick update, I was driving my truck again today and put it in neutral at about 20 mph, I revved the engine to a pretty high RPM at or above 4000, I didn't keep it there but a split second, I just gave the gas pedal 1 good quick pump, as the Rpms went back down to around 2000-1500 I put it back in drive at around 15 mph like I have done plenty times before in the past and BAM, throttle stuck and truck started barreling towards the busiest intersection in town, this time I slammed the breaks, threw it in neutral then in park before I was stopped completely, otherwise would have ended up getting t-boned, then I shut it off. What the heck was that all about? I have done that hundreds of times before with nothing like that ever happening and my foot was completely off the gas and Rpms low when I put her back in drive. Obviously I won't be messing around any more until I figure out what is going on. Thoughts? In hind sight I obviously should have hit the e-brake but everything happened so fast it was just a reflex.

It picked up considerable speed when I put it back in drive along with the rpms going up as the throttle was sticking, I put it in drive, not sure which specific gear it was in though.
