Codes? What we do know is your truck went into limp mode and will not go over 2000(ish) RPM's. Codes may help us tell you "why".

Also could be low rail pressure my 05 was notorious for that Ppe shim kit or race valve. Limp mode will still let the truck go over 2k.

Texas!!!
You need to figure out why it is happening. I don't see a FPRV pop open just cruising very often; it mostly happens because of a fuel pressure spike caused by going from a high load situation to a low or no load situation (such as accelerating around someone to pass and then letting off). It would be best if you could hook up a scan tool of some sort and watch what the rail pressure is doing and/or do a bottle test (search bottle test to find out how to do that).
