Just performed my first oil change at 20000, as per the great directions on this site.
Was the 20000 a typo that was meant to be 2,000? Have I been screwing this up with every new truck since '99?

I've gotten some bad fuel and it does the shimmy and lack of power that you describe. Get some diesel water remover and add it to a full tank. Solved my problem. Did the previous owner change the fuel filter at 15,000? Heck I have even considered putting a Marine Grade Racor in my system. Seems like our fuel has gotten a little "wet" here in the past few weeks? Hopefully it was a bad batch or they just havent changed their Racor on the tanks. Glad to see it got better for you.
