2012 Chevy Silverado 4.3 v6 

Feels like it has slow power

i think it’s running lean so it’s injecting more gas so it feels like a smooth ride while you drive but at idle it’s shaky

Well it's adding a bunch of fuel which is running lean, but you have a black tip on your exhaust which means it's running rich. You have some serious problems now. Those cars are not known to be all that well made. I would start by testing to see if the head gasket is starting to blow. Then you can go richly and you can do all kinds of things
