Default 1998 8l v10 Shakes when cold

Hi Im new to the forum and i couldn't find a post in relevance to the issue my v10 is having. I own a 1998 Ram 2500 4wd v10 with 160012 miles on it. My father was the original owner and it was used to haul a 1000 gl water tank. Its always treated us well and done what was asked of it. On my 18th birthday i was gifted the truck from my dad, and after i got it i did some front end work, new power steering gear box power steering pump tie rods and ends sway bar ect. And i have been driving this truck daily for over a year. In the span of a week i had my throttle position sensor die along with both O2 sensors. I changed the throttle position sensor and unhooked the O2 sensors because the truck would not run with the O2 sensors hooked up. It ran fine for about 3 weeks. Now when its cold it seems like it has a miss and gets worse the faster you go.... But it becomes almost non existent when it reaches operating temp. I am totally stumped on this one.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
