i suggest going to your local parts store and have them scan for codes and go from there. In my 07 the MAF was unhooked while i was doin some work and i only had half power when i cranked it. Don't know if your truck has a MAF.

Is it possible your ignition lock cylinder is only partially contacting your ignition switch lower on the column?
