Half way through a roud trip I miss read a sign and passed a gas station thinking there was another one just down the road 20 miles, there wasnt. I made it to the next gas station but barely the truck was surging from not picking up the fuel on the hills but when it leveled out it was started itself back up since it was still moving . All the warning lights flashed on and off duel to loss of power. But after refualing and getting back on the road tea ABS light stays on and the brake parking light flashes on in off (only when driving) the speedo starts jumping all over the place when you get over fifty. It also has a surge while speeding up around 45mph to 60 mph. once you are over 60 mph it stops but you can not tell how fast you are going because of the speedo jumping around. any help woudl be great. I am stationed over seas at the moment so going down to the dealership is a little harder then the states.

since you had lights flashing(warning lights), try to reset everything by disconnecting you battery for awhile. then see how it does.

I did that after we got home. left them un hooked for the rest of the night. It still is having the trouble. I am wondering if I might have got some trash in the lines and it is cause some sensor issues
