do you know which cylinder is misfiring? you could have a plugged or not working injector. you could also have low compression on a cylinder. You could do a cylinder compression test and if there is low compression on a cylinder then do a cylinder leakdown test. how many miles do you have on your truck?

I also forgot to mention that if you didn't fix your plenum that may be the cause.
