This sounds like a crossed sparkplug wire, start by making sure the firing order is correct, if theres a sparkplug wire in the wrong spot this would cause hard starting and the backfiring, so check the firing order first, i would of given you a firing order diagram but you forgot to list the year, make , model and the engine size. good luck and have a good day.
#3 sparkplug is not firing at peak performance.
The engine block sparkplug hole had to be re-threaded in order to accept an adapter for the replacement spark plug. The sparkplug is sitting "higher" in the cylinder than the others (not as efficient).
It may even be a different sparkplug altogether in order to accommodate the adapter.
Add a silicone insulator gel (AutoZone $2) inside both boot ends of the sparkplug wires and re-seat them all.
Do you mean you need a diagram for the spark plug wires? The firing order of the engine is usually molded into the factory intake manifold, and most distributor caps have the #1 cylinder location marked on it. For a more detailed look at it, try to find a repair manual for your truck.
