PSD won't pull

I have an 01 F-250 PSD that has been to numerous dealers because it can't pull a 5000 lb trailer up a hill without dropping to 55 mph floored. I'm not talking mountains either. They've replaced fuel regulator,MAP sensor,EBV solenoid,fuel pump,and air box. Anyone ever have this problem or any ideas what it might be? Thanks for any help.

something is major wrong, my truck would pull my 3000lb lance camper, and my 4000lb boat over moutain passes(10,000 ft.) at over 55 mph floored when it was stock.i would hope they did all the electronic tests so it might be something mechanical- i would check out the turbo and its components-intercooler tubes for leaks, wastegate opening to soon or stuck open, lose conection in or out of the turbo. if the dealer has checked all the ecectronics than it kind-da comes to not enough air gittin in, or not enough air gettin out
