“While driving on I-81 up a steep grade, truck suffered a sudden power loss, with speed dropping to 35 MPH from 65 MPH. Attempts to regain speed failed and it felt like truck downshifted to a lower gear. 35 MPH continued until I decided to use truck cruise control to attempt to gain speed. I was worried about tractor trailers hitting me due to low speed. Finally got vehicle to 65 MPH but would not go above 65 MPH. Rode that way for 100 miles ( trip home was ~ 200 miles) finally in lighter traffic when I had to brake, I tried to use gas pedal to maintain speed.and it worked. …”
