x2 check you got your wires hooked up to the right plug.
make sure your plug is fully screwed in. a gap from a loose plug will cause problems. Doesn't require 82 fps of torque though...
if you have access to a GOOD scanner, you can peek in on what your suspect O2 sensor is doing. OR try unhooking it and see if the truck runs differently (thanks swartlkk).
Try following the step by step that Sisk linked you to first though.

try a little of this action
i flooded my throttle body with a full quart of seafoam. I blew smoke for a WHILE and din't foul a plug. You should be ok with some carb cleaner...
