Re: Just in the morning
what's the temperature like that time of morning? you could have condensation forming inside of your intake manifold or getting in there from a craked intake snorkel; check your snorkel first and make sure it's not cracked.

Re: Just in the morning
the intake snorkel will be the plastic/rubber tube that connects your air filter housing to the intake manifold. Make sure you don't have any cracks in that rubber tube that would allow moisture to settle into your intake.

Re: Just in the morning
the next alternative is that you may have a distorted intake manifold gasket, thus allowing moisture to slip in and cause the rough start/run that you encounter with your engine. If moisture would get in your distributor, it could cause what you're having but more than likely you're truck wouldn't start if moisture was in the cap. Also check your air filter element, make sure no moisture is getting in there.

Re: Just in the morning
Check your EGR valve, it might be bad.
