Random multiple misfire, this means that basically all or many of the cylinders have misfired in a short amount of time. I take it you are experiencing a drivability problem...

drives fine just idles like crap. Under load it accelerates fine. I was thinking with 141,000 mi on her she could use some coils and new plugs.

Well with all theory in mind, a bad ignition would fail under load not at idle. Sounds like you have a vaccum leak, egr coming on, bad MAF, etc.... The code you gave tells nothing. You need to know more.

I'd say with 141K miles and you just now thinking about a plug change, you have lots of issues with the truck, hidden or obvious. Change plugs, wires/cops and boots. Clean egr ports and maf. Ck pcv system for vacuum leaks. Clean throttle body and replace fuel filter.

Changed plugs a few years ago at about 75,000 mi. And havent had any major issues since. Regular oil changes and about 75 mi. round trip to work.
