does it sound like injectors??
That's one symptom of worn injectors. For extra clarification, pull the valve covers off when the engine is cold. Start the truck up and watch oil discharge from each of the injectors. On a cold engine, if you have some injectors barely spitting oil, or not spitting any oil at all out of their discharge port, then you may have some worn injectors. Let the truck idle and warm up. If the injectors start spitting oil the same as all the others on a warm engine, then it really sounds like worn injectors.
