Power loss

My 1994 F350, 7.3 idi with factory turbo , automatic transmission runs great with massive power and smooth shifting for the first 20 minutes every single day. After that initial 20 minutes, the truck is bogged down and shifts hard with each gear. Lately, too, the OD OFF light illuminates occasionally without touching the button. Is this an engine problem or a transmission problem or both? Need help

My stock 94 F350 Rollalong, 7.3 idi. Primary hauler.

Just a guess, PCM (powertrain control module) or transmission.
