Default Random misfire, and ping on takeoff.

i keep getting random misfire codes, and when i take off from a stop i get one or two pings. Other than these issues the truck runs fine, no shudders, shakes, or knocks. I replaced plugs 6k ago with OE motorcraft plugs. Could i have a weak coil? I also run non alcohol 87 octane fuel. Would it do me any good to run a tank or two of premium through it? 02 4.0 sohc

I'd throw in some injector cleaner first

i've done that already and it hasn't helped. It's getting irritating quite frankly.
