Sounds like it is going into "limp" mode. Happened to me intermittently for a few days then it flat quit paying attention to the throttle. I took an hour in very annoyed heavy LA traffic (I got off the freeway in time) to go the 5 miles to my shop - I was lucky to be so close. Throttle body assembly had basically fallen apart & the computer could see that the throttle didn't do what it was being told and went into limp mode. replaced throttle body assembly - cant remember what else as this happened several years and a 150000 miles ago. Not too unhappy as the truck had 200K rough miles on it, and its still going at 360K. Early 2002 model bought new. The poor truck really works for its cookies as I do a lot of 4wd mountain dirt roads.
