Truck in "Limp-Mode"?

This evening my "water in fuel" light came on. So I drained the HCFM. Light did not come back on after I restarted my truck. On my way in to work about two hours later the little "Tool" light comes on on my dash. According to the owner's manual the truck has gone into "limp-mode". Has this ever happened to anyone else? Should I be concerned if I go out in the morning to leave and it is still on?

BTW- My truck is a 2006 with 2740 miles on it.

Thanks!
Kevin

I am guessing the 2 events are unrelated...

I would take it to your dealer.

Tim,

Up untill this morning I had not run any additives. I stopped at Wal-Mart this morning and bought a bottle and put some in my fuel.

BTW- The limp mode light did not come on this morning when I left work or this evening while out running errands.
Thanks!
