I just bought this truck, according to oil change sticker on windshield the truck was over due an oil change by 3k ( guessing sticker was for 3K interval, would mean truck was overdue by 1k) prior to purchase the truck ran great no lack of power no miss, oil level was fine. after about 200 miles i started noticing a miss when tranny shifted into OD at cruising speeds- got worse when presented with a load, like a hill etc. but would go away when I accelerated or forced tranny to downshift, I initially thought is was stiction. I changed the oil and filter with motorcraft filter and Rotella t6 5w40. I changed the oil while at operating temp, I could smell fuel pretty strong, immediately after oil change the miss got worse and now it is present at idle, and through all the gears,I still suspect injector but am second guessing my self a bit......I went to smell old oil and now that it is cold I don't smell the fuel. I dont have any scanners etc.

Yup, that sounds like an injector is failing. You can try to pull the codes, but they don't always set one with a misfire. Your best bet is to find someone who can do a power balance test to determine which one(s) it is.
I would also check the fuel pressure. Low fuel pressure will kill injectors pretty quickly, so you wouldn't want to replace any injectors and have low fuel pressure.

don't remember seeing a brass nipple, i had took everything from the turbo to the air cleaner intake at the grill off. I checked for cracks and grime, it was surprisingly clean. I am racking my brain trying to think of possibilities other than injectors.....I know the truck was overdue an oil change, wondering if fuel filters may be a factor in this, I havent changed them yet. when I did the bubble test the secondary filter looked good.
