The members of this forum will be glad to help! But first we will need some more information.

Year, Engine, Miles, Drivetrain, and Driving style (Town?, Fast starts?, short trips?, long warm ups?) would be a great start and we can go from there.

A good tuneup should help a lot, but first you will want to pull your codes to see if the truck is telling you something is wrong.
