It could be many many things. In my professional opinion, you must first isolate whether you are battling an intermittent spark problem, or an intermittent fuel problem, then proceed accordingly with narrowing it down. I have duct taped fuel pressure gauges to the windsheild and driven for hours more times than I can count over the years to catch a fuel pump going south or a regulator hanging up. I have used a hair dryers to heat electrical components on dead cold engines such as coils, TPS's pickup coils, modules, etc. to duplicate heat related problems. Check the MAF sensor readings on the data stream as well, idealy when the engine is falling on its face to verify proper function of the MAF. If the truck uses a oiled gauze air filter such as a K&N, this is the first place I would look.
More info on the miss would be helpful, does the engine flatten out and cough like a carbed truck with a malfunctioning choke, or is it a steady miss, like a plug wire has been removed.
