Default help with E40D

I have 93 f150 with 302 and a e40d transmission it hates hill with passion . It shifts fine until I hit a hill then it drops in speed . Is there away to make it so the thing goes fine up hill ? Sick of it dropping speed

i had an E4OD in my last truck, and i thought it was the trans acting up going up hill, turned out to be a weak fuel pump... hook a fuel pressure gauge up to it then drive up a hill see if your pump loses pressure.. just a thought before you start throwing money at it.

your running into the same problem i have then, lol i've been on a 1 year frame up rebuild, and when i got everything back together the fuel pumps, were bad. guess i souldnt have let them sit in the shead over this winter, plus the truck i rebuilt sat for 2 years before i got it,
but mine idles just fine, but the morer gas you give it the lower the fuel pressure drops and cant build its self back up, until it just cant build pressure at all and dies. took me 15 min to drive 1/4 mile back to my shop this weekend. lol i've got new pumps on the way and a new regulator too.
go to rock auto pumps are 99 bucks, and the regulator is 30 bucks, autozone and oriellys want 99 for just the regulator.

Is that just the pump or the whole assembly? Because just changing the pump is asking for problems.
