Power loss

Hello to all. I have 96 f350 i am suffering an overall power loss. no codes come up and the fuel pressure is good. This is a stock truck. It is at it's worst when pulling some wieght. i give it throttle and it feels like it's going backwards. I am pulling about 3000 pounds. Thanks.

1997f-350 it doesn't run rough but it feels like it wants to go for a bit and then hesitates then goes again. I have ordered a tymar intake which should be here monday. and on monday i am going to order a 3" down pipe and when i get that put in i will have them delete the kitty aswell and i think i will stick with the stock 3.5" tailend. any other suggestions/things i should change. thanks
