You check Glow Plug relay to make sure the glow plugs are being told to heat up?

How old is the oil and is it full? How warm does it have to get before things smooth out? Any smoke when the engine is cold? If so, what color?

Does it only do this first thing in the morning, or will it do it in the afternoon if the truck hasn't been driven? What are the outside temps when this is happening? Is there a high pitched wine associated with it running poorly, as in with normal EBPV operation?

Doesn't sound glow plug related then. When is the last time the oil was changed? Is it low on oil?
