Default what could cause this?

In the lower rpms when I'm cruising at a steady mph my truck seems to misfire making the rpms jump up and down very slightly about 100 or so rpm. Could this be caused by the ol bein sucked up into the manifold? Would a catch can fix this?

Sounds like the torque converter locking and unlocking. I had this happen on my truck just never fixed it, hats what it was.

If its a misfire you'll get a SES light.

The converter is stock. So I'm not sure. It def. Feels like the converter is locking and unlocking but gow do I fix this? It has been doin this for a while. If I'm accelerating or at wide open throttle its fine it only doe this when I'm at steady throttle mostly below 2,000rpm
