P0300 is random/multiple cylinder misfire.
There are several possible causes. I would first start by asking how many miles are on the truck and how long it's been since the last tune up. The spark plugs very well may have been the culprit if they've never been changed. And I always recommend using OE or better plugs. Autolite makes a great product, but I would switch to their double platinum plug or the OE Motorcraft for longest life and best performance.
Also, did you clear the code after you changed the plugs? If not, I would do so either with a code reader (BEST) or by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. If the light comes back on, have the codes pulled again. If we still have the same code, we then need to determine if the misfire problem isis due to lack of spark or a fuel delivery issue.
