Engine choking and dragging

Hey Guys, Drove truck about 30 miles today, let it sit for 4 hours , cranked truck and drove back home, on my way home service engine light begin flashing rapidly as it felt like the truck was straining for power, the light went out but the choking was still happening . I was on the highway going about 65mph. Truck has 89000 miles on it. When Idle I feel a little shaking and you can see it when you open the hood. Could it be bad gas, I am down to 50 miles togo, I used some BJ discount gas. Any Ideas?

Severe misfire.

Get your codes scanned to see which cylinder is at fault. Expect a plug and COP.

Avoid driving if at all possible until repaired to avoid catalytic converter damage.

ok, I took it back to dealer and it was the #6 misfiring,but they told me the manifold was cracked and leaking antifreeze into the plug, so they are going to fix it for free and gave me a loner car until fixed.I just bought the car Dec. 16th , 2006 So they are repairing the issue for me.Is this cracked manifold common. What else should I expect of this model.
