Welcome to AF, what year truck and engine is this? an injector could be doing this, maybe.

Info, like Max requested would help......

Sure wires are going to the correct plugs?

Check for spark at the end of #6 ignition wire with a spark tester?

Swap number 6 plug with another to see if the problem moves......

Then check compression.....

Then check injection system.......if CPI(one injector), could be plugged poppet valve or leaking leg to poppet valve......if SFI(6 injectors), #6 injector could be bad or connection/circuit to it.........

The outside possibility is the gasket installation....

Air leak? Spray brake clean around #6 intake port.
