You may have a weak cam, or your tranny is getting tired or not kicking down. How steep a hill? lol...
If a 1994 Trooper loses power going up hill and has a spark knock in the engine, the compression of the engine should be checked. It is possible that the vehicle is not running on all of its cylinders.
I have an 88 EFI truck and it loses speed (not necessarily power) going up hills because it is a manual transmission and it is geared low... and also if you are in higher altitude. Mountains ect..the electronic fuel injection may need to be redone.
A power loss can be from a dead or almost-dead battery. If the car loses power on a hill, it might be a fuel injector or fuel pump, if I'm not mistaken.
It loses power because going uphill is harder then going downhill therefore causing it to use more gas and then making it lose power bit by bit.
Plugged air or fuel filter? Plugged catalytic converter?

Stay behind the truck until you can safely pass. The last thing you want to do is pass that truck going up a hill unless the hill is so long as to have a passing zone.
