have you tried pulling any codes out of the computer?? could be a few things...could be a bad CPS...which is fairly common with these trucks....could be tranny related......or a few other things. Getting the trouble codes out of the PCM would really help.....

Also...on your auto hub issue...have you tried backing up for about 30 feet to see if that helps?? sometimes the hublocks "stick" and backing up will release them....

First thing I would do is change oil. I have had this happen on my 2002 7.3L the first time it started doing it I changed the CPS. That fixed the problem now that it is a little cold out. It started doing this again. I was near the time due for an oil change. So I had my oil changed. I haven't had a problem since. I would check the level of the oil and also change it. If that does not fix the problem then Go with the Cam Position Sensor.
