Default Studder Problem

I just changed my plugs and wires and now when I hit 50 to 60 mph There is a big jerking and the truck shakes. I double checked the firing order and it's all correct. When it's in over drive I don't notice it much just when over driver is off. What would be the cause of this?

You have a miss. Recheck firing order, and plug wire routing.

I've checked it over and over. Took all the wires off and redid them many times. I tried with the old ones and I'm still getting the same thing.

Autolite 3924 from Auto Zone and the plugs are autolite as well. I tried swapping the old plugs and still have the miss. The old spark plugs are pretty much shot, I just bought the truck almost a year ago and don't know when these where replaced last some of the plugs were corroded

I got it solved. Got a code scanner from my cousin. #8 and #5 where problems. I routed them as should be and #5 was still a problem. I don't know if something fell into the #5 hole or was tightened to much but there was no gap at all. After fixing the gap problem no check engine and code scanner is clear from codes.
