No Power when Accelerating

My experience with this isn't with a Durango but for whatever it's worth on a 2001 blazer we used to own it had a similar issue. Started fine, revved up in park fine, shifted fine, but had low power when you got on the throttle heavy while driving and didn't rev past mid-range.
The catalytic converter plugged itself because the honeycomb core had fallen apart and turned inside the housing preventing exhaust flow.
Removed the cat and it ran great.

First thing i would do is find out if there are any codes associated with the check engine light (auto zone or other major parts stores do this for free)... its on for a reason! If there are no codes, try resetting the computer via disconnecting the black negative wire from the battery, then turning the key to the "start" position for 10 -15 seconds, then remove the key, and reconnect the battery.
If the check engine light goes away, drive it and see if the problem is solved. If it remains, or comes back, get the codes from the diagnostics and repost them here.
I could name off a few other things to check, but dont want to send you on a wild goose chase... first thing is the check engine light.
