could be a number of things. but if it bucks and jerks going up a slight incline hill under normal driving, that sounds like an ignition misfire. take a look at the plugs, wires, and cap/rotor. if you are unsure of the last tune up, wouldn't hurt to go ahead and replace all of those.

sarcasm is hard to express over the internet. i saw 3.0 and assumed gas engine.
fuel filter would be a cheap place to start, and its a maintenance item anyways. not sure how to test for a bad injection pump. i do know from farm tractors that injectors can clog over time and need to be rebuilt. i take those injectors to a diesel injection specialty shop and they can check the spray pattern and check for leaks, and they can rebuilt them as necessary

also, another common thing i see is dirt in the fuel lines from the pump to each injector. i'll remove each line one by one and blow them out with air. usually there is a constant miss when this happens though.
