'01 5.9 odd problem
I was hauling my cabover one day and all of the sudden out of the blue I go to stop and it feels like I am accelerating!?!?. A 0216 code showed up. "VP44 DEATH CODE" Changed it out with another and no change. So I thought maybe a tranny problem. Had that checked out and all is good. Still have a problem. 
If anyone has come across this I sure would like to hear about it.

Try doing an APPS reset and see if that helps.
here it is from Dr.Evil
This procedure has shown to help 24 valve ISB engines. It is basically teaching the fly by wire accelerator on these trucks to reread the position of the pedal and it's limits. Most complaints this will help with is poor acceleration, improper shifting, bucking in 5 and 6 speeds. Has been known to increase fuel mileage in some instances.
1. Set parking brake
2. Disconnect negative battery cables on both batteries
3. Turn ignition key to run(to drain any remaining capacitors)
4. Let truck sit for 30 minutes( this is the recommended minimum)
5. Return ignition to OFF position
6. Reconnect both batteries and secure, not a timed event
7. Turn key to run position(not start) and depress accelerator pedal slowly all the way to the floor
8. Allow pedal to return to top position slowly
9. Turn ignition switch OFF
10.Release parking brake
