Its the coil. There are coil over plugs on each cylinder and if one goes bad you will have a skip when accelerating. It is a common problem, I have had to replace 3.

It's most likely a failing coil on plug assembly. They go bad around 100K miles. If you don't have the CEL on yet, it will be shortly. It will say its a misfire and indicate which cylinder.

thanks guys i ended up putting a can of seafoam in the tank and ran it till empty and when i let it sit overnight i started it the next morning a bunch of smoke came out the back and now it runs great again i assume it was a clogged injector so saved me money and time to fix it i was going to head to the parts store to get a new coil when it did that ive put about 200 miles on it since and still no problems trucks been great since ive bought it
