Question Injector going south??

What are symptoms of injector failure? Truck is 06 6.0 F250 133K. truck seems sluggish under power. Replaced #4 recently an kinda acting same way before i replaced it. Have SGII what should I be watching? Have gotten codes for #2 contribution and EGR (need to clean), been cold here, an dont get code for #2 all the time. Noticed it today when pullin bobcat that truck was sluggish. Thanks

What weight oil are you using? Synthetic/semi/non? Cold temps bring out the bad side of injectors, could be having moderate stiction. What temps when your driving? If it does this when up to temp you should get someone to run a unassisted cylinder contribution test which can be done at a dealer for free or little cost (50$).
Also, do you have a way to check fuel pressure? Have you been using treated diesel or treating it yourself at least in the cold? Assuming you're in below freezing. Low fuel pressure will hurt power.
