Default 6.0 Lost all power

Hey guys I am new to this site and hoping to get everyones help!

So here is my situation.. I was driving a few weeks ago and the "water in fuel" light came on on the dash.. the truck lost power and gave it 5 seconds and it came back on and down the road i went. Now two days ago I was driving (in Michigan cold here!) was going up a hill and the truck started to chugg like it was not warm enough ( I had let it warm up for 15 minutes like normal).. barely made it to the top.. but once i got to the bottom of the hill it was fine. Now yesterday it did the same thing going up the hill but then it really never gained power. The truck seemed jerky like it had no fuel getting to it. And then I couldn't get it over 40 miles an hour. I then pulled to a gas station and it slowly died. Gave the truck 5 minutes and it started right up... it will still start up fine ( no lag or anything) but the idle is very rough and still have very little power to get the truck even moving.

What are your suggestions? Thank you all so much for your help!

Did you check and drain water separator? My buddy had water in his fuel ( a lot from a bad source) drained some out - water light came on again and figured he could make it home. It cost him ($7,000) for a whole new fuel delivery system from the tank forward!
