How many miles? I would also look at the UVCH and UVC gaskets. It could also be injectors depending on how many miles the truck has on it and if those are factory injectors that have worn out. When you say it puffs smoke, are we talking white smoke, blue smoke...? Does it cold start when its been plugged in?

If it puffs white smoke and has a miss it might be a bad cylinder (rings).

Under valve cover harness its part of the valve cover gaskets and the wires that power the injectors and GP's its possible while you were doing the driver side GP's you could have accidentally caused it to come unplugged and now have a dead bank

uvch = under valve cover harness, uvc gasket = under valve cover gasket.
