'nother member from michigan. Welcome to DF.

How old is your O2 sensor? Might try just unplugging it, and see if the truck drives better.

So, are they reouted per TSB as kejobe mentioned? Were they routed correctly before?????

Never saw a misfire caused by an air filter....... But who knows? There is a saying, "there's a first time for everything!"

Unplug O2 sensor, or pull it out? I vote pull it out...

ill try the tsb and o2, but my buddy that is a cummins mech. said he was sure it was a fuel pump and come to think about it last summer befor the tranny gave out i only put 10 or 20 bucks in at a time so hell maybe that or just the fuel filter

I think fuel pump would cause stalling before misfire.......not 100% on that, but not my experience.

That is the cam sensor, and it can cause misfire. I think it would throw a code.
