Mine will idle back up after about 5 min, that is why I use the cruise control for the idle speed to help warm it up and to maintain a constant RPM.

Folks, Don't be alarmed. This is completely normal....when its near freezing temps the engine will idle for a short while until oil pressure is stabilized and has had a chance to circulate in the engine. Then slowly it will idle up to approx. 1500 rpm. It will hold that rpm until the park brake is released or brake pedal is depressed or until engine temp gets up to near normal (160 deg). When in gear the function is disabled so it won't happen while driving. There's a description of this function in the manual. My GMC duramax has the same feature.

When it gets real cold, 10 degrees or colder, the engine will run fast for quite a while. It is exactly whed cd6400 says, it is normal. I have found that the engine will not idle fast for such a long period of time, if I plug the block heater in.
