When driving at normal speeds and when I come to a hill my truck losses power and speed sometimes up to 20 to 30 mpr and rpm go down to below 1000. There is alos a rattle like sound from underneath to truck whenever I accelerate. Could this be my catalytic converter going bad? Also the check engine light is on

i would suggest checking the ignition timing, using a higher octane/grade of fuel try 93 over 87 and lastly i would suggest cleaning the MAF sensor.
