Did you tune it yourself or did your mechanic do it?

A tune-up isn't what it used to be. You need to be a little more specific.

Did you replace plugs or coil packs?
Did you check the MAF?
Any trouble codes?
Air/fuel filters?

What's the mileage on the truck?

I did it myself. I did the plugs and wires not the coils. I'm going to do the fuel filter this week

If you did the wires then I think you have the wrong forum. The 04+ do not have wires. They have a coil over plug system. If you have a 04+ truck and have a misfire I would try switching the COP with another cylinder and see if the problem follows.
