Default Weak Start.

Lately i have noticed that when i start my truck the start is really weak every now and then. Not the normal roaring start. I know the starter is turning over and the battery is good. Its almost like not all the spark plugs are firing or something. Im honestly not to sure what it is. Do you guys have any ideas?

Also.. Been there and done that with the battery testing on my truck... I have a thread somewhere telling about my battery situation that i fought with forever.... Ford would test my battery and said the test came back good ... Still had problems with the battery and they wouldnt warrenty it.. Finally just bought a new battery out of pocket.. And havent had problems with it since
