How many miles since its been replaced? Was the vehicle sitting?

If you read back another member suggested one way to test it... They are a known issue anyway, we were giving the cheaper things to try first which probably could use replacing anyway as preventive maintenance...

Also how about a fuel filter? And running some injector cleaner? Look up how to properly sea foam the truck?

Take care of the vehicle and it will take care of you... But the coil pack is next.

Is this definitely a miss in a cylinder and not a slip somewhere else?
