97 Jimmy4.3L extreme engine vibration, random misfire code

I was traveling home from a weekend of hunting when I noticed a decrease in power, an rpm increase of 200 to maintain same speed and my ses light went from solid on, to blinking. When I pulled over I could barely keep it running, and when I did turn it off it "dieseled" or continued to run. When I finally made it back home and to an Autozone to check the engine code it gave me Random misfire condition. It has 165000 miles on it, so I figured I'd do a compression check, getting nothing on one cylinder? I have seen a lot of posts about CPI, ignition system problems, they seemed like a minor misfire compared to what I was seeing. The engine vibration was terrible.
