catalatic converter or you have a vacum hose that is not connected causing it to not shift right, that is if you have a auto transmission.. you may also want to check out some bronco only websites..

Check your throttle cable. Could be stretched, frayed, caught up on something. Or maybe you have a compression problem in a cylinder, not to sure on that one tho.
also check the kick down cable...if you have one. Thats what tells the truck to shift into a lower gear to give you more rpm (power).

My 1989 Dodge Ram Charger had a stretched throttle cable and a broken kick down cable. So I moved at about the speed of a snail. lol it litterally took me a full minute to reach 60mhp.

Hope this helps,
