Default 99 suburban stutters going up hill

hey guys, i have a 99 suburban k1500 with 236,000 miles...every now and after driving all day i kind stutters when i'm going up hill kind of like its misfiring, the truck shifts fine so i dont think its the tranny, i know i'm a little over due for a tune-up which could be the cause but if not what else should i check after i do it if still does it...what i did to it so far was have the intake gasket changed because it leaking antifreeze from the top end and it would threw a code for the cat a couple of time before i changed the gasket....since it was repaired, no codes...thanks in advance

If you know you're overdue for a tune up I think I would just go ahead and start there seeing how it needs to be done anyway.

While you're in there, check the fuel pressure.

Default well

if you hit 280,000 you will have matched the miles on my '95 when I sold it.

good luck!
