runs rough when floored.

It has only done this to me twice, yesterday I pulled off from a light and got up to 45, I don't think I was on it real hard but it started acting like it was out of fuel? it then died and I pulled over and it fired right up and was ok. today I pulled out on to the road and let into it and it shifted from first to second and then went to 2500 or better and would not shift when it did it just started slowing down and running rough? It did not cut off and was idling rough then smoved out and away I went? Anybody help the new PSD owner out?

sounds like fuel pressure to me , make sure oil is full also and in good shape , run a fuel pressure test and see what it says , needs to be at 45 at idle and climb up as you load the truck
