I lose power when my truck hits 25MPH. I step on the gas and it just revs higher and speed up really really slow. What could be wrong? Please help. Please.

Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve

Thanks for the quick response. Im new to this whole thing but im eager to learn. I will look into what you suggested. What would be first thing to look at? Do you think my transmission is bad? It still drives smooth and there is no knocking noise coming from the transmission. It just doesnt go faster than 20 MPH I had to drive it home on second.gear at 15MPH. I hope its not the transmission.
