Down Truck Wont Go over 3MPH!!

So had a VERY bad experience tonight!So i just replaced the the lift pump and deleted the fuel heater and ive drivin the truck with a load on it after i replaced the lift pump but tonight i was doing my normal oil pick up for my Bio-diesel system and i had about 270 gal in the back and the trucked acted fine "until" i try to climb a little grade!The truck sputtered then shut off so started it up but it took about 3-4 cranks and went to take of and truck wouldnt go so i finally get her going and trucked MAXED out at 3 mph so keep driving shut off on me about 8-10 times and it got so bad that it wouldnt go over 2 mph so i put it in 4L but kept it in drive and i could only get to 5mph!Took me over an hour to go 4 miles up a 4-6% grade!!Any help would be great!

is it a factory mechanical lift pump? or electric? sounds like either the fuel shut off selinoid is messing up, lift pump is dead, or bad bio blend

3mph maxed on a 5% grade? Maybe somebody stuck a Duramax in there
