2006 6.0 only idles, won't accelerate

2006 F350 6.0 turbo, no mods 84,000 miles (my first diesel). I was driving home at 65 mph and it felt like the truck died. Pulled into the ditch but truck was idling normally. When I push on the gas pedel it's like a linage poped off, no acceleratation only smooth idle at 800rpms (I seen it's a drive by wire after checking).Drove truck for 6.7 miles (3 hours) in "limp home mode" until I ran across a State Trooper that called a tow truck. I have checked this and other forums and have checked the fuses that could cause this problem. Fuse #45 is not blown so I don't think I have a wring problem in the steering colum others have spoke of. Any ideals?

Can you check for DTC's? Are you still under warranty? It could be your APS (Accelerator Position Sensor).

sounds like you need a new gas pedal assembly. ie: what he said.

Thanks for the input, I'll look thoses up to see how to check them. One thing I forgot to mention is I have a wrench light and engine block light on, if it makes any differents. Thanks
