Power loss

Hello to all. I have 96 f350 i am suffering an overall power loss. no codes come up and the fuel pressure is good. This is a stock truck. It is at it's worst when pulling some wieght. i give it throttle and it feels like it's going backwards. I am pulling about 3000 pounds. Thanks.

Do you have a boost gage? Fill in your signature so the guys here can help you a bit better.

I am not quite sure what a signature is Cuda _ Jim Please explain. i do not have a boost gauge. 1997f-350 This truck runs fine no smoke oil is good i am using chevron delo 15w40
the fuel pressure is at 60psi i had the truck in the shop a couple of days ago they scanned it with a snapon scanner they agree with me that it is down on power but no answer except they put in injector cleaner no change so far.

1997f-350 it doesn't run rough but it feels like it wants to go for a bit and then hesitates then goes again. I have ordered a tymar intake which should be here monday. and on monday i am going to order a 3" down pipe and when i get that put in i will have them delete the kitty aswell and i think i will stick with the stock 3.5" tailend. any other suggestions/things i should change. thanks
