Try "multiple" Big T.

Hope your advice skills are better than your spelling.

seems that we have the results of the education crisis showing up on here.

Sounds like an 02 sensor problem.

Would be checking oil and fluid levels first, if they are good then probably the transmission shift solenoids or blockage in the trans filter depending on when it was last serviced. Like I said it could be multiple things but as its only doing it going up hills and under power makes me think its the transmission. Get the codes if any.
