Possibilities:

1. Ignition system not operating properly
2. Dirty or clogged fuel injectors
3. Low fuel pressure--weak pump, restrictions in the lines, filter
4. Fuel inj. or eng. control systems malfunction

23000 miles, i just bought the truck, it has a lower pully, it does it under part throttle bad, but under full throttle it does it, just more rapid from 60-80. I just bought the truck one week ago from the dealership.

Sounds like what was happening to my truck when it had no compression in a cylinder... WOT it wouldn't stutter, 0-50ish it wouldn't stutter, but around 60 it would stutter real bad!
