Check the fuel pressure with the truck running, also check the ignition timing.

The EGR may be pluged opern with carbon causing rough running also. A bad PCV valve, could also cause rough running, take it out and shake it, if it rattles it is good, if not replace it. Also check the rubber elbo's and the plastic hose that goes from the PCV valve to the air intake hoses.
