Question
My bother just had transmission replaced.Truck runs great transmission works good but begins to idle fast once it gets warmed up.

Answer
Hello,


It sounds like a vac leak.

when the engine idles faster, spray a carb spray around the intake and hoses and listen for changes, hissing, idle changes, runs rough etc.

You dont state if it is automastic, or which engine it is, but a transmission swap generally will not affect idle unless a hose  or wire was pinched or left disconnected, or soemthing else was damaged.

I assume a leak, because some cracks open as the metal gets warm
