Change the fuel filter and coolant temp sensor. Changing these 2 things always results in smoother operation.

Pull the codes, this will hopefully find the problem for you and keep you from throwing parts at the truck.

I agree with 1994 F250: 351, C6. Pull codes. Also could be a clogged muffler/exhaust somewhere. That may couse some of your symptoms also.
