Driving to work this morning my truck just stopped running. I did not lose electrical power but the truck would not accelerate. I got a warning that the Truck was not in park which It should not have been since I was moving 35 Miles an Hour. I pulled over turned the gear selector to park, restarted the truck and drove to work with no issues. What could have caused this.

I had that happen once in my last truck and it never happened again.
The way it was explained to me by the dealer was that there is a switch (I believe inside the transmission) that was telling the computer the shift lever was in park, but since you were moving it was telling you it would not shift into park. Since the computer believed you were in park, it also initiated the rev limiter which prevents you from accelerating above a snails pace.

Thank you for the reply, I think the door was closed and to get it moving again I did not open or close it. I will keep an eye on that Thanks
