Help my 01 has a miss and poor fuel mileage

Hi I have new batts in the truck cleaned all the grounds added a new ground to the pcm on the fire wall and to the apps.checked fuel pressure & codes no codes and 18psi @ idle and 11psi @ wot. reset the apps and I added some new inj. I only have the miss when I am driving stedy at 70 mph sometimes. If I power up or down it will go away I also notice it when acclerating hard. The cruise controll has also become very sensitive especially around 70 mph its hard to keep the truck at a steady speed. Any advice?

were the new injectors pop off tested? I'm not a 12v guy at all... so maybe that's not a concern w/ them? I don't know. I guess I'm just wondering if you had this problem before you put the injectors in???

At first I thought mine was missing like that but it actually is more like a bouncing or something.

I just came back from Alanta Ga. I unpluged the tap wire to the VP pump truck runs good except for the lost power. But the cruise control worked flawlessly and that makes me happy and the throttel pedal worked as it should. I think im going to add a toggle switch for the tap wire. I got 13 mpg on the way up with around 6,000 lbs car, car trailer, and golf cart. @ mainly 70 mph on the way back empty car trailer 2,200 lbs at@ 70 mph I got 16 mpg
