I have a 2005 F350 and mine was doing the same thing. We changed everything including replacing a new factory overflow cap. Finally, we found that the head gasket was leaking causing the engine to overheat but also I was loosing a ton of horsepower. We rebuilt the engine from the head gasket and new heads all the way to the top of the engine. We replaced the head bolts with new head studs and it feels like a new truck. More horsepower and it pulls like the beast that it was meant to be. Hopefully, this helps good luck.

The engine and transmission in this cars drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPEDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Remove the fan shroud by disconnecting the two upper hoses and removing the two 8mm bolts that secure the shroud. Remove the four 8mm bolts that secure the rad to the rad support. Remove all the plastic pushpins that retain the site shield. Lift up site shield for access to the pushpins that secure the main battery positive cable. Tilt rad toward the front of the truck to give you the clearance needed to pull the shroud out. Disconnect the lower rad hose and the two transmission fluid cooler lines (on 2005 and up models, you'll need the line release tool). Once done, the rad simply lifts up and out with plenty of room to spare

If its a gas engine and you are talking about the fuel pump, it should be in the tank. Sometimes they have a second pump on the frame.
