Help needed asap

TRuck runs perfectly fine even towing unless you jump all over it, falls on its face and starts shimming and shacking, if you pull over you can hear the diesel noise extremely loud, pull back out on the road nail it she will jump right up and then right back on its face. ANy Ideas.

Fuel restriction sounds like a possibility to me too.

Also, make sure you oil is full. But fuel is the most likely your problem.

I am thinking you pulled some debris into the fuel pick-up in the tank. I would pull the line off behind the pump and blow it out with compressed air.

A reasonable amount of pressure. I wouldn't blow 125psi back there but 40-50psi at least.

If you blow air back into the tank, it needs to be from behind the fuel pump (there's a check valve in the pump). Also make sure to remove the fuel filler cap before pressurizing the tank. A plastic tank can only hold so much PSI before it ruptures.

If that seems to help, you'll need to drop the tank and clean the screens in the mixing chamber or do the in tank mods to eliminate them.
