thank you everyone for your help, i finally found the problem, i started taking a plug wire off one at a time and putting a plug in it starting the engine and checking for spark no 4 cylinder was dead, who ever would've guessed a new plug wire would be bad. i guess that why it was only really noticeable at higher speeds about the time the truck would shift. i do believe the coil needed to be changed also as the truck now runs much smoother then before and starts ten times easier.
