Welcome to the forums,
What engine do you have?
Need to complete the tuneup.. Here read this post (1998 and up 5.9L and 5.2L)

Also may need to clean your throttle body

Okay then the thread i posted in the forum for you to check out will be the parts you would want. If you have not changed the cap and rotor before then this very well may be the problem.

Far as the spark plugs go
The key words here are "Champion" and DO NOT USE PLATINUM!, you follow that rule and you will be good there
I also gave you a link to how to clean the TB.. you should do that as well
That would be a complete tune up and usually is the what cause most problems people have.
Are you getting a check engine light?
Finishing the tuneup would be a good place to start and then go from there.

Far as the spark plugs go
I believe that Spark Plugs should be replaced every 15k or one a year. This is one thing that always gets over looked. If you look into the cylinder after 60k with the OEM plugs or regular spark plugs you can see build up of deposits on the surface of the piston. I believe this in the most part to be unburned fuel and any resin from which as well as debris from any foreign source. Most of unburned fuel can be eliminated by simply making sure that the spark plugs are replaced by 15k or once per year. When installing new spark plugs remember that they need to gapped prior to installation.
Remember that our rigs like the OEM regular Champion spark Plugs. Champion Truck and Champion Iridium are also OEM replacement. Although some people like the Autolite 3923's in the 5.2L and 5.9L. I do not encourage their use. Autolite Spark Plugs are not recommended for use in the 4.7L. This is a good thread see:
Autolite Copper plugs ok?
DO NOT USE PLATINUM! Our motors were not set up for their use.
