 Description of the problemMonday, january 15th i drove at 65 mph to work at and home on the freeway with no problems. Tuesday and wednesday the truck was stationary due to cold weather conditions in houston, texas. Thursday morning the 18th, i drove at 65 mph to work via freeway with no problems. After lunch i drove at 45 mph back to work on a street and noticed the check engine and traction light came on and simultaneously the truck then starting driving extremely sluggish and and far below the speed limit obstructing the flow of traffic. I carefully got over and drove the truck only allowed at 30 mph back to the office. After carefully driving home via street at the end of the day i got home and removed the negative wire from battery and re-connected it to see if this would resolve the issue. After doing so, the results were the lights in the dash were now off and the truck drove proper with no hindrance. This would last until wednesday 24th. Both lights came back on and the truck started again driving sluggishly. Its seem that when the light is off the truck drives fine, but when it is triggered the truck is drives extremely sluggish. Could the be a defective part? Any help would be useful.
