Unhappy no power when i accelerate???



I have an automatic 2004 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4. recently i noticed that while on the highway and on cruise control it starts jerking (kinda like something gasping for air) when i take it off cruise i don't notice it as much. the other day i lent the truck to my mom who last time loved the power but this time complained about it jerking. when i picked it up from her i noticed that there's a major lack of power when i try to accelerate. i tested it in 1st, 2nd, and Drive and its just weak. in drive when i get up to 55 it acts like it cant go any faster, i finally got it up to 65 but it took a lot of effort. im really worried it could be a bad injector. i replaced one about 6-8 months ago and a yr before that all of them. someone told me it could be the fuel filter but i read its in the tank, if that's true whats the easiest way to check it? if it is another bad injector what causes them to go bad cuz i would really like to get that fixed... well i hope this is enough information. any and all input would be greatly appreciated
