Sounds like the truck went into limp mode. It was trying to save itself

So we stopped at her firends house for a couple mins and I decide I wanna see if it changes if I turn the edge down to the lowest level so i get and pop the hood and flick the toggle to the lowest level. Later on we hop on the highway so i figure now might be a good time to try it out, i turn the bully dog up to 100% again and give it a bit and decide theres too many cars around and its not straight enough. So i figure i'll just turn it back down to 0% and try it out on a country road later. Well I turned it down to 0 and the next thing i know the check engine light comes on and i lose alot of power, its still running it just as no ***** and doesn't do much when i hit the throttle. So it slows down to 60mph and doesn't go any faster. I decided im just gonna limp it home cuz its only about 5 miles, well driving it home I notice the transmission(auto) doesn't seem to be shifting right either. I finally get her home and decide to check the codes with the bully dog and the code PO299 comes up anybody have a clue what it is? and what happened? sorry for the long speel.

it did go into limp mode. I clear the codes today and everything is fine, but i still don't know why it did that. excessive rail pressure?

What year is the truck? Maybe its the year that has sensors to detect when the person in the drivers seat has heavy feet and light head. ks
