Default truck bogging down

Ok so a little while back my truck started bogging down. It only does it after a little bit of driving. And if I mash the gas, then it just bogs down and doesn't go fast. Please help

Is it missing at all , have you checked your fuel filter / injectors , fuel system cleaner and or your fuel pump , check for leaks, and last but not least have you done a voltage system check or a vacuum check ..... What kind of bogging down if it is more held back then check your suspension system and breaks / roters , trans oil and filter , differential oil , if a 4x4 have you checked your t case , hubs , have you blead the breaks ( we need to know a bit more to help no detail is too small )

Default 04 - V8 4.6L - Skipping Beat "Bogging Down"

Recently my truck began to make a sound upon hitting the breaks that came from the rear tires. Short after, a rattling noise came out while on drive, but on a full stop. I also felt lost of power while accelerating on the freeway, now the "Check Engine Came On" Can anyone PLEASE help me, I don't want to get ripped off in the repair.

With the check eng light on go to Orallys auto parts and have them scan your codes its free as far as the sound in the back that's going to take some looking ( start off by making sure everything's good and tight)

Thank you so much for the advise. They were quite helpful and provided me with a PO305 Misfire code which they advise me it could be either the spark plug or an ignition coil. Any idea of much would the work labor may cost on an item like this one?

The coils are ( cheap side ) 66$ a piece and goes up from there. I see them on eBay going for a lot less. As far as your labor goes I have no idea. But it is an easy task if you wanna have some fun one afternoon.
