How long was the truck sitting? Just over the summer? You may want to start by replacing the fuel filter and putting in some fuel system cleaner at the next fillup. The gas may have gone bad in the tank if you didn't use a fuel stabilizer like Stabil. It may also be time for a full tuneup. Cap/rotor, wires, & plugs on a short list. At the very least, you should pull a few plugs and have a look at them.
