Need to check injector balance and possibly compression pressures, though an injector balance test could also show a weak cylinder. The ECM will attempt to add fuel to a weak cylinder to equalize all eight cyls.

If you have access to a cooperative dealer service department, you might try getting a warranty history on this truck. Might illuminate something the previous owner forgot to mention.
