Any guages? Now is when a fuel pressure guage would come in handy! Sure sounds fuel related. APPS problem, Any codes? Key from off to on 4 times ending in the on position. Codes will show in the odo screen.

0720 is a low output speed sensor fault for the trans. basically the truck is going faster than what the trans reads on the output shaft

check the wires at the sensor, make sure they are not chaffed or broke or something...I kinda think fuel problem too....and this code may be coming up because of the low fuel psi???I would also check you lift pump pressure if you can.
