Default 7.3 idi dies under a load.

I have a 1990 7.3 f-350. It will start and run as long as I don't get on it real hard. If you put your foot in it it will fall on it's face and die. After a few minutes it will start back up.
I have changed the injector pump, and the return lines. It's running better than it was, but still dies. I'm ready to burn it.
It's a 1990 f-350 7.3 with an automatic trans.
I'm thinking fuel pump next....

Thank you Sootman73, I did get a new pump. As soon as I get time I'll put it on. Right now I'm on my way to Amarillo...
