Where's he stranded at? I'm almost 2 hours away, but there are a few members near you that might be able to swing by.

Talked with Mike, he said his gauges are all dead and at the minimums and he has no throttle pedal.

I did a quick search and found something similar....
Post #6 of this thread talks about a fuse that was popping:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...-whats-up.html
In this case it was fuse #19 (10A) that caused these symptoms.

Is it raining there right now?

Well, I'm home. Yes, what a bummer, but nobody (Dodge, Chevy boys) seen me on the flatbed so thats a good thing , 2:30 am. At least I have a bit of humor in it all. Although I wanted to fix this on the side of the road I was in a bad spot, two lane 45 mile highway, cold as chit, wet. I just thank the lord that a co-worker seen me and stopped by to help and hook me up with a tow, costly one but what was I going to do. Anyways, a big thanks to all here, Clay, thanks for the phone call, we'll check those fuses tomorrow morning, to cold now.

Limp mode? Have you done the 50c mod? Sounds like she is running on four cylinders. Hope it's an easy fix bro.
