Exclamation Truck not getting fuel under acceleration!!

My truck is cutting out under any acceleration over idle......Ive tried the fuel filter but it still is not working.....It started happening last night after i refueled....It has gradually gotten worse the more i try to drive it....It almost seems like the governor was moved to 1800 rpms....Im wondering if it my be the lift pump, but i can hear it come on before i start the truck...Im also wondering if it is bad fuel...anybody got any suggestions?????

Thanks!!!!

Brandon507, I would suspect bad fuel first, drain some out your fuel filter housing in a clear jar and look at it for signs of water or trash. I assume you changed the fuel filter allready.

brandon507 I agree with Mikey first assumption would be bad fuel or water in it, If thats not it. Its probably not your lift pump. The Truck can run just fine with a bad lift pump and you wouldnt even know it. If you can run the codes on it if its a po216 your gonna need a new injection pump.
