shuddering with less power....

Usually I can search thru threads and find the info I'm looking for....however, this time I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.....

So, here is my issue...when I leave a stoplight, at about 1700-2000 rpm, the truck seems to be shuddering slightly. It isn't a really bad issue yet, but I'd like to figure it out before it gets worse......When it is shuddering, it seems to have a lot less power.

I am due to change my fuel filters, so that is one thing that will be done by the weekend. I have also had the under valve cover wire harness come loose, and I suppose that it is possible this could be a re-occurance of that, but symptoms aren't as severe as when that happened before.

I have also checked the turbo, no play and all fins look nice and sharp with no chips.

Also to give you more info, my truck is an 01, 7.3 with cpr fuel system, 6637 filter, otherwise stock......
