Truck has no power…?

My 1990 Ford Bronco has no power.I was told it needed a tune up so I did- no better.air filter ok.Gas treatment didnt help…Checked catalytic converter and its not stopped up.The car will strain when you take off, the rpms go way up to 4k but the car doesnt pick up it just putters kinda like a wind up toy.I can barely get it over 55 on the highway pedal to the floor.Its also idling all over the place on start.
I read here someone else is having a problem like this, could it be the torque converter? The car is also shuddering and clunking into gear.Will a torque converter effect power at all?

Gutless Ford Ranger part 2?

It is a V6 2.9 rebuilt at Fallon Auto Mall (a ford shop) in Fallon, NV: since, with less than 500 miles, tune up with oil change, air & fuel filter change. When I put the accellerator to the floor it will “creep” to a higher speed and after about 2 miles tops at 80MPH with a strong tail wind. The exhaust system is also rather new (aprox. 1000 miles).

Even with a rebuilt engine my ’88 Ranger 4 X 4 looses 20 MPH on a slight incline and drops dramatically as the hills steepen. Any ideas how I can increase the power?
