Made it almost home stopped at dollar general shut truck off got a few things got back in all lights but abs was off started driving home kept going in and out of limp mode traction control light was intermittent and truck was jumping like it was trying to activate traction control then would go into limp mode then back out

    limp mode may be due to the SAIC. If you have a code scanner, when you get a chance post up codes. If you don't auto parts store will happily help you out. They wont clear codes FYI

    I don't have a code reader and the truck is barely drivable due to the track light coming on and truck going in and out of limp mode, what is saic?

    Try the two long (4-5 seconds) presses of the traction control button (while stopped, engine running) to disable traction control and see if it will get around better that way, to go get the code(s) read.
