Hey Clark, here's a stupid question- when was the last time it had a tuneup? If you can't remember or don't know, this will be a good intro into your truck. Buy yourself a service manual at your local AUTOZONE and have an employee find what you need. Believe me they are very helpful.
If you've had a service done soon then does your SES light come on? If so, again, go to AZ and have them read the codes then go from there.
Ok, I'll stop there for now. If you've done these then we'll talk later or someone else may be able to help you
