I have a 2000 f350 with 7.3 powerstroke. It runs ok stock but with my programmer I have a dead spot between 2600 and 3000 rpm. I have change fouel filter,used fuel additives,cleaners, lubricator. My computer shows no codes and diablo blames the truck, not the programmer.
Any suggestions?

Well it may be that you are running out of fuel pressure. I am almost certain that you have a stock fuel system, and you would not believe how small the fuel passages are in these "checkvalves" that screw into the heads. When the engine is under a high load situation, it is very easy for the injectors to use up fuel pressure faster than the pump can force fuel through those small fittings.
Do you get any Check Engine Light situations?

this is the same problem that I was haveing,I thought it was the injectors running out of oil. is there other problems that will cause issues like this.I was fixing to shell out 3k for a dual hpop. also Chris I changed over to a fully synthetic 5w 40 and alot of my problem went away, well it moved up the RPMs a little
