The truck keeps bouncing back and forth as if i would be pressing the gas and letting go, pressing the gas and letting go. i never had any trouble with my truck before. do you think it could be just the fuel filter?

thanks billie17 and jeffreyhecke for ya'll solutions.
May be the same thing I have going on. My check engine light came on. I reset just to make sure it was serious. Now it seems like when the engine is under a strain at any speed at 1600 RPM the engine can cut out. Not every time though. If I hold it at 1600 up a slight incline it starts running rough. Above and below 1600 it's smooth. It happened when hot the other day 3 or 4 times, then the check engine light came back on. It's at the shop now.
When it cuts out it tends to be going around corners and at 1600. Not a good time to lose power steering! Starts right back up in neutral.
I have 44K meticulously maintained miles on it, if that makes a diff.
Thanks kcrummett this was very helpful.
why do u feel like the fuel filter is bad?.....
can you step on the gas...and will it increase RPM's?
if not...then it is the fuel filter.....
but also can you hear the fuel pump kicking?....when you start it....
