My s10 loses power and hesitates after you drive it for a while about 20 miles and then you have to down shift all the time to keep your speed up then shift back up when you get to a certain speed.

Start with a compression test. Test the fuel pressure and timing. Make sure your plugs and wires are in good working order.
