When I press the accelerator it doesn't get any power. It started at about 50 mph and then drove at 20 mph and I thought it was going to completely quit. I pulled over and tried to rev the motor and made it about 1 1/2 miles to work at 20 mph. It has had a rough idle for a few months. When I would stop at a stop light it would die if I didn't apply both the brake and the gas during the stop. My truck has quadrasteer which probably doesn't make any difference but I thought I would mention it.

... Just a note to add !

What we find in them 6.0L engine is that the intake manifold gasket fails allowing unmetered air to enter the cylinders causing a rough idle and misfiring codes
DTC p0300 and or so
check the intake manifold gasket and replace it with the new TEAL GREEN GASKET MATERIAL
hope that help
if not the gasket check for injector pulse
