losing power

I have a 1996 powerstroke f250 that I plow snow with and i have to get this fixed before the snow starts flying tomorrow! It is running great- plowed for thirty hours the last 5 days, but when I get to forty it loses power and sputters but doesn't die- slow to about 20 and it picks power backup. any help would be great
thanks

if so, its not really typical. if its never had one tho, the stealership has to fix it under the new recall.
