I assure you that is the right one. You may have cracked a plug or something.

I don't know what you want me to tell you. The truck ran good, you changed the plugs and maybe wires and now it doesn't. Something you did caused it. I gave you the firing order. Go back and double check everything. Make sure none of the wires are damaged.
