Everything you suggested checked out ok. I did however fill tank up prior to problem. Truck used excessive amount of fuel also goin uphill as well as losing power. The next day, before checking out truck, had to stop for more gas. Went to different gas station. Everything on truck checked out ok now seems problem is gone. Drove it uphill no problem. Bad gas? I'll let you know if problem comes back.
