Could be the idle air control valve either bad or dirty. It's job is to idle your vehicle up when ac and or other acc are being used. Try cleaning it first also clean throttle plate and throat of throttle body around the plate. Hope this helps.

Best fix is remove fuses #10 and #28, then remove your throttle body and clean with sensor safe spray like Seafoam. This will fix your problem, this is the most common problem with the GMT360 platform.

Same problem! Definitely clean the throttle body thoroughly and don't forget to "relearn the system" after or it will still idle rough. Here's a video on how to do that. https://youtu.be/wrSWi2_gltA

Removing fuses #10 and #28 for 15-30 minutes then replacing after the cleaning will also relearn the system without disconnecting the battery.
