You probably need to take it to a qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis. Throwing parts at it is only going to cost you money. Putting aftermarket parts on it versus genuine FoMoCo is a mistake also cause some of the aftermarket stuff is crap.

Limp mode indicates an electronic problem. This is a safety feature built into vehicles to prevent further damage. A mechanic with a live data recorder will have to determine the problem.
