Ford F-150 Coolant Problem

When my truck reaches a certain temperature it starts acting like its not getting gas. I just put a brand new fuel pump, filter, and fuel pressure regulator on it.

How sure are you that it is fuel and not ignition sparks that is the cause? If it is fuel starvation, I would sugggest checking the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor.
