You will get mis fire codes AS you are running out of fuel not is you are low on fuel.

What was the actual code? Have you looked at the plugs? If I were you I would check your plugs and wires before doing anything else. While you're doing this do a dry and wet compression test to see what kind of shape the rings are in.

And a code does not mean something will have to be replaced, it may only need to be cleaned. Also, some codes are triggered by 1 event, and the truck waits 2 or 4 drive cycles to be sure it is still there, then turns on the light. So code may have been started yesterday.

Before buying a $50 reader, consider an Ultra Gauge, which is a combo scanner reader digital display of many gauges that plugs into the same port, $70.
Boy that Ultra gauge looks sweet! Simple plug and play? I'll have to get one before
