Smile 4.2 bucking n' missing (an answer FYI)

My truck's been doing this for some time, I've asked about it and also seen other guys ask.
My wife finally had enough of it. When she had the oil changed, she mentioned it to the kid, and the kid brought her the FUEL FILTER, and showed her the brown gunk coming out of it, she said "change it" which he did.
The Very next day the Bucking n' Missing was gone, and on the next tank of fuel the milage went up to 18mpg (from 16)
I cant remember how long I've been putting up with this, but now I'm angry at myself for procrastinating.
