2009 GMC Sierra misfires, stabilitrak warning, and 3 cylinders not firing.

I am having issues with my 2009 GMC Sierra. It has around 330,000 kms.
- Service stabilitrak pops up constantly and sometimes says stabilitrak is now off.
- 3 cylinders are not firing
- Engine lights keeps blinking
Is there something simple that could be causing these problems like a bad fuel pump? Spark plugs? Or is it time to find a new truck?
I replaced spark plugs not to long ago so id think those should be good?
Any comments would be helpful.

Check engine light blinking means NOW! Get code readings at once and post the #s not another person's idea of what to replace.
Blinking means you are actively harming this vehicle by continuing to run it.
BTW - about all vehicles will do best with original brand and type of spark plugs. Any changes in brand or type frequently can be the new problem added to what you were trying to fix so just know that,

As Tom stated, retrieve trouble codes and post the numbers in here. Which engine? Which three cylinders are missing?

Thanks for the feedback guys. Not sure if spark plugs were the same brand I will find that out and I will also post codes when I can get them today.
Thanks

With that many miles you probably want to test the compression before going too far.

Could replacing the coil pack or packs fix these problems?

According to the codes you only have one cylinder missing. Does this misfire all the time? Which engine? A compression test would be a good thing to do to rule out mechanical issues.
Replacing a coil would be a fix, if the coil is the problem. Does it have spark on that cylinder?

Yeah I guess it is only the one. I have had misfire problems for a good year now but they have been rare. Hitting certain rpms used to sometimes trigger a misfire, but as I said earlier whenever the truck is running the engine light is constantly blinking.

Which engine???? Does it misfire all the time? Is it missing while the engine is idling? Be kind of a waste of money to start replacing stuff that is good.

Yes the engine light. It did not misfire all the time no. But the other day, yes it started to have a constant misfire so I stopped driving it. When in idle, it does not misfire, not until you take it out of park.
