Help!! 89 Ford

I have an 89 Ford F350 460 engine, fuel injected, auto, 3 speed, 4x4, 98,000 miles. I did a recent tune up fuel filter etc. Two months ago while driving the truck was already warmed up and the truck wouldn't go past 50 mph. The idle was steady, but when you tried to floor it it did't go past 50 mph. After the truck cooled off it ran fine all the way home. And this all happened two months ago. Now just recently two days in a row the same problem occured. I am not sure what this could be. I can drive 30 to 40 miles and nothing will happen. This happens only after the engine is warm. I have no power after I go 50 once in a while. Everything else is fine. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thank you

You probaly have a bad fuel pump, you need to check the presure with a fuel presure guage, and find out what it is reading when hot.
