skipping 7.3

I have a 97 7.3 with 230k mostly troublefre miles. Recently afer driveng long enough to reach operating temp.....and with cruise set 70-75mph...it begins to skip voilently and lose power...can slow to below app 2300rpm and smooths out.....mash accelerator to increase speed.....more skipping.....when stopped the idle is smooth.....all fluids are normal.....filters changed at oilchange 1500 miles ago. First problem have had with this motor....tranny replaced at 175K....any ideas??

Engine light coming on?

Have you checked for codes?
Just a guess off the top of my head-might be the accelerator pedal. Does it run fine until you reach a certain spot in the pedal?
