No power bogging

Hello,
My 6.0 with 178k on it just started to have issues today. Low power. When I hit the pedal hard the motor revs ans the thr truxk barley moves. When I baby it it goes up to speed and shifts fine. Overall lacking power and not going anywhere. No CEL on. Turbo spools and seems to be ok.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You are saying when you give it a lot of throttle the motor revs but the trucks doesn't move? Sounds like your transmission is slipping very badly. Check tranny fluid level, you might be low, but if its slipping that badly the tranny is probably toast.

When I give it gas it moves but not like it should. Transmission has never had a hiccup. Could it be a clogged cat?

is this driven every day, if not the unisom ring in the turbo could be sticking or worn grooves for turbo vanes. Any black smoke if so EGR valve could be stuck.

The truck is driven daily. I cleaned the egr valve and got a new ring seal set for it as well. Ran great then.
Someone mention EBP or icp sensor.
