Default Cutting out/sputtering when accelerating

Hi my 4.0 seems to be having a problem accelerating or shifting . It cuts out or sputter when I accelerate to 3 k . Usually it is when it's cold and it has been very cold near me lately. Not sure why please help?

I was thinking that it could be the fuel filter so I will be replacing mine sometime this week.

Did that solve the problem for good? My truck started sputtering a bit while accelerating/idling only drop maybe 50-100 rpm but can feel it when driving....
