Engine Missing?

Engine runs fine at idle, on the highway, no smoke, I changed the fuel filter, theres fresh oil and filter. I only fuel up at one place "big truck stop", so I dont think I got any bad fuel. Now with that said, if I take off from a stop as soon as I hit the pedal it feels like the engine is missing. It shakes the whole truck, not like an earth quake but enough to notice. Once it gets to about 1200 rpm's it evens out. I put some diesel kleen in it when I filled up which I never have before, its making it run smother and quieter but I still have that missing problem.

Check under the hood, I've often found missing engines in there.

lol, I checked the drive line and everything looks good, unless its the TC. Sometimes it shakes bad and other times not at all. It does it when the motor is hot, cold, with a load, and without. I guess the only other thing to do is check for codes. Anyone know where I can have that done without spending an arm-n-leg?
