Well how much weight and how steep of hills are u pulling and do you have it tuned?
A little more info might help, it may be doing like supposed to be..

Can you feel the truck quit pulling as good or what?

Responded to your other thread but was not aware of the custom tune. More than likely your dropping fuel pressure but the custom tune is preventing any code from setting. You need access to a very quality scan tool for us to help you out before you throw more parts at it.

Depending on the programmer it may have covered that up as well. Regardless we need to see some ECM data at full throttle. Preferably the commanded mm3 and rail pressure. Even if it involves a $100 diag fee from a quality shop. That's a lot better than throwing thousands of dollars at it. Without that we can only offer so much help.
