Did you replace the APPS yourself, or Dealer?

Might try the APPS reset procedure again, if not for the first time.

Sounds like the VP is dead. Have you checked the codes?

Sounds like it just needs to be reset. Disconnect the batteries for 10 min and then put them back. Jump in and turn your truck to ACC on position then slow depress the fuel pedal.

Hope you figure it out!

You are describing exactly how my VP44 went out. I idled about ten miles to deliver my load in the middle of the night. If so the codes will show it.
