Codes Codes P0308 and P0171
Truck started shaking and running bad last weeks. Check engine light came on, I checked codes P0308 and P0171 came up. I have changed all the plugs and checked the injectors and also the coil plugs. all seem to be fine, Truck will some times start fine and run fine. then go to a store and restart it and it would start shaking again. then come home and go out again and it would start fine again. once it starts fine it stays that way. When it starts and it's shaking it stays that way. I thought maybe the gas seeing it happened the day after I filled the tank. But got a new tank of gas yesterday and it's still doing it.

Replace # 8 coil unless you moved it to another cylinder and it shows up faulty in that cylinder.
There is no 'checking' them for intermittant failure.
Recheck for codes since they may have changed.
The 171 code likely was generated due to the cylinder missfires being detected as a rich condition (unburnt gas).
Good luck.

Thanks, I reset the computer and the check engine light does not come back on. but it still starts bad and shakes. I had someone change the spark plugs and they said there was oil on the spark plugs. Could it be the Fuel Filter, I have never changed that since owning the truck about 3 or 4 years now.

He may have checked it, but you can get a coil that tests good that is still bad. Once a coil warms up, it can misbehave. As for the lean code, it usually indicates a vacuum leak, but it is not registering on the same bank as the affected cylinder, so you might have two unrelated problems going on.
