93 f150 5.0 Miss?

So I am almost done rebuilding a 93 F150 4x4 SWB 5.0 5spd from nose to tail.. Just a few small parts remaning.. but anyways drives like a bat out of hell no issues then the other day im driving and it feels like im accelerating then like im tapping the brake it stops then goes just ever so lightly. Then driving up a gravel hill in 2nd.. which i do all time it feel like i have no acceleration and my rear end feels fishy.. really loose like one wheel is grabbing better than the other, But this truck has the posi i think is what its called where both turn at the same time.. Suggestions? ive jacked it up and nothing is loose anywhere at all? I found one spark plug wire that is burn from a manifold so im going to replace them all today.

Runs better but the same... Was told if you have the posi rear end your suppose to put in some additive... now that im thinking i bet im feeling the rear end slipping because i didnt know about that additive and changed the diff fluid recently.
