THAT IS READING A FAULT CODE OF PO101, THE TRUCK SEEMS TO RUN FINE WHEN ITS IDLEING BUT ONCE YOUR GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT STARTS BUCKING AND SHAKEING AND LOSEING POWER YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT A LOT OF GAS EVEN TO GET IT UP TO 55 ,COULD THIS BE SOME KIND OF AIR SENSOR PROBLEM AS IN MASS AIR FLOW SEN. AND IS IT POSSIBLE TO CLEAN THEM, ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECEIATED AS THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE

That is a code for a Mass Air Flow sensor. Cleaning isn't going to help if it's setting a code. The problem could be the sensor itself, any related wiring, the PCM or just a bad air leak on the intake snorkel.
