I'm forever gearing down up hills in the sierra....even as low as 3rd gear. 
This has been covered before you really need to check a number of things. Fuel Pump, Water in the fuel tank, Carbie (jets are clean?, float level, air/vacuum leaks) the choke can also cause these problems. I experienced problems like this when I first purchased my sierra. I got the carbie reco'ed and in my case had fixed my problems.
In really cold morn/nights if im driving on the highway around 100km/h for extended periods of time it does cause the carbie to play up a little and cause a drop in power (esp up hills). Usually it will fix itself up or in severe cases I have to pull over for a min to let it warm back up. These hickups became more noticeable when I fitted a snorkle.
