Engine lost all power and died

Please any help would be great. For the last couple days the overdrive off light has been flashing when I would come to a complete stop. It would bog down as I would try to start driving then would go just fine. The ABS light has come on a few times as well. But would go off after a minute or so. Now as I was driving home the engine seem to lose all its power and started to have a gargling type of sound was able to go about a mile before it killed and would not restart? Now it sits on he road 2 houses from home. Please any thoughts what this could be?

If the OD light is blinking there are codes. Do you have a way to read them? CEL on?

What is your oil level? Fuel level? Year and model of truck? Miles? Any mods done like hutch and harpoon? Did the lights go out on the dash? When you turn the key on does the wait to start light come on? What is battery voltage?

Not sure if everything is hand and hand, but, going b on a limb here with the ABS/OD blinking.. Remove the speed sensor atop the rear end to clean it... That might clear up the OD blink
