My 01 is starting to buck and jerk from about 30 mph to 45 mph and anywhere from 1500 to 1800 rpm. Filters are good and I keep my comp box on 1. I have started to notice the smoke is turning a real light gray lately as well. Maybe a vp issue? Please let me know what you guys think
 
This might not apply to you but a buddy was having the same jerking issure with his 24v. He ended up needing a new pcm.. I would try checking into your map sensor and apps (tps)
 
I was thinking maybe APPS (tps) but im not sure. Not only that but I dont really know how to check if it faulty or not.
 
There are a few write-ups over on TDR for adjusting or re-cal you apps. I've never looked for any on here..
 
Come on guys give me a little more info. I know that somebody knows something about whats going wrong.
 
Try wrapping some tinfoil around your negative battery cable to the alternator on the passenger's side and see if that helps.

Here is the APPS reset procedure:

This procedure has shown to help 24 valve ISB engines. It is basically teaching the fly by wire accelerator on these trucks to reread the position of the pedal and it's limits. Most complaints this will help with is poor acceleration, improper shifting, bucking in 5 and 6 speeds. Has been known to increase fuel mileage in some instances.

1. Set parking brake
2. Disconnect negative battery cables on both batteries
3. Turn ignition key to run(to drain any remaining capacitors)
4. Let truck sit for 30 minutes( this is the recommended minimum)
5. Return ignition to OFF position
6. Reconnect both batteries and secure, not a timed event
7. Turn key to run position(not start) and depress accelerator pedal slowly all the way to the floor
8. Allow pedal to return to top position slowly
9. Turn ignition switch OFF
10.Release parking brake
