Is the CEL on or flashing? You should have your truck scaned for codes that might tell you where the misfire is then you can find out what the cause of the misfire is.

sometimes egr valve can negatively affect idle and how its running. Might be a bit of a longshot, but its only 30 bucks or so to replace.
