Re: stumped

Got a scan tool? Check the o2 sensor. Look at it idling. I should have a fairly uniform rise and fall. An "S" curve on its side so-to-speak.

If this is the problem you have to have turbomom video the "kicking yourself in the nuts". That would just be hilarious. I chuckled a bit at the thought of it haha.

I'm pretty sure that'd be harder than changing the plugs AND fuel pump.

Re: stumped

Things I would check....
TPS has a flat spot
MAP sensor bad or a vacuum leak to the sensor
Battery voltage at ECM is low
Bad grounds at ECM or engine
Most likely in my experience it is ignition related. Most stumbles on stockish trucks usually are ignition related.

Re: stumped

After replacing the parts, did you disconnect the battery to reset BLM? Might want to do that, FWIW.

Does the computer go through some sort of learning process when the battery has been disconnected?

Re: stumped

Plugs look the same, or is one funkier than the others.

My gut would be

a) partially plugged injector
b) ignition
c) grounds/wiring

Fire up a scan tool, and log it when it happens.
