Sounds like you have a CPS going bad. Change it out and keep a spare. Common problem with these trucks.
Ford gets around $175 for the part. On E-bay you can do MUCH better;LINK

Again, Ditto, I suggest changing it soon because one of these times, and probably soon, it want restart. Welcome to the board and let us know if this works or not. When you have a chance fill out you signature so we will know a little more about your truck.
