I will be at a idle with a bad shake. i accelerate and it sounds like half a cummins is running until 20 mph. after that it runs pretty good. Is somthing on its way out or do i have a sticky injector? help its a every day driver any input is great.

Yuo have gauges? What do they say?
Lets start with teh simple stuff... Check for fuel leaks in the system. When is the last time you changed your fuel filter? Is it old fuel in the truck? I would run some Power Service or something along those lines in a tank or two. Go ahed and double the amount they recommend. could be an injector.

try bleading your injector lines at the pump and then at te injectors, with the truck running, this will also let you know witch injector is not working rite,by the sound of your engine,and this is good practice to do a few miles after you change your fuel filter to be shure to get all the air out of your system,

If you prime the filter with the lever on the lift pump before you start the truck you should not have to do this. Bleeding the lines is a band-aid fix for a leak. Remeber... A leak can go either way... seeping fuel or sucking air.
