Gap @ .035 and re-check all plug wire connections at plugs and coil packs.

i had the same problem with my truck and i used the same pulgs tr55's. I took the plugs out and tested them with a digital multimeter and found that i had 3 bad plugs. i took them back to oreillys and they exchanged them. put the new ones in and the truck worked fine. You might want to check the plugs. mine didnt physically look damaged but they were not working.

use an ohm meter and check from the electrode (the pointed tip on the bottom, NOT the ground strap that you adjust gap with) to the tip(where the wire clips on) ...should be a resistance , if none or higher than the others youve got a bad plug.
