power loss

Here in the last week or so I have noticed what seems like loss of power in my 04 F250 with the 6.0 and has about 175k miles. When I get on the gas it doesnt seems to respond like it used to. When I turn off the truck i can smell diesel a liitle bit. could it just be a clogged injector, bad plugs or what? Any help would be great..

Any Gauges to read live data? I would pull the EGR and clean it with carb cleaner ,try not to get the electrical side.

Up by the upper fuel and oil filter black round Valve, it will take a 8mm with 6'' extention, I use two small pry bars that you can see in my albums, and Turn counter clock wise pry the valve up ,you should put new O-rings on if they haven't been replaced, I clean my valve with carb cleaner and a plumbers flux brush. dont get carb cleaner in the electrical side, work the valve theres two discs clean inbetween those too.
