issues!! need help

i was running my 7.3 pretty tough last night. and this morning i woke up and started it up and drove off and it got to the top of the hill and started rattling and i lost complete power. i put the petal to the floor and all that happened was it dogged more. eventually when it warmed up it started puking blue smoke heavy and then when i got it going it would cut out ever once in a while for a split second. im thinking its the injectors, what about you guys. and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. its a 2000 f-250 single cab 2x4. basically a rocket

Change your fuel filter and see what happens. Maybe your engine oil for good measure.
