Exclamation New Member looking for help

Hello and thanks for any help in advance, I own a 2008 Suburban with the 5.3. Vehicle has 296,xxx miles and has been extremely dependable up until about the past few weeks. When I purchased the vehicle it had some dash lights and messages running across the cluster that didn't effect performance so they kinda went ignored as this is a work vehicle for me. Stabiltrac, abs light, park assist were always on however the issues have turned into the fuel gauge has stopped working altogether and then a day or so later while driving i noticed the oil pressure gauge dropped to 0 a message popped up no oil pressure and to shut down the engine so I did so. Checked the oil and it was ok, no lifter noise or knock so I proceeded on my 4 hour trip with no further issues or than the gauge going from 60 lbs to 0 lbs every so often with the notification. Further into the trip I got a "Reduced Engine Power" notification, I eased into a parking lot and removed the positive battery cable in a desperate attempt to reset the computer, this did work as that particular issue hasn't come back around. After loading my daughters furniture onto my trailer I started the vehicle and it stalled once I put into gear. I started it and drove about a 1/4 mile and it died again. Long story short it was towed back north 4 hours to my home via a uhaul box truck . Vehicle has been parked for a few days now, i did undo both battery cables and tied the together, drove it around the block and it does stay running now but I fear if driven further it'll leave me stranded. Where do I start? Should I replace the ECM? Check grounds? could that be a issue? I'm mechanically savy but this electrical stuff gets me most of the time. I did scan it and 3 codes came up... evap, knock sensor and cam sensor. I just don't see these sensors along with the fuel sensor all going bad at once.... Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my only vehicle, Im new to this area and have a few crotch goblins to cart around.
