Driving along 4 times now in different situations, my truck looses power and goes into some kind of power overide. The truck looses power, sputters and goes slow and the engine light comes of. If i pulll over and turn off the truck it restarts running well, but the engine light stays on until I have the truck turned off for a litttle longer time, like 5 minutes. Then it returns to normal. The mechanic was unable to get any readings about what is going on. Help. This is dangerous in lots of traffic.

I would suggest you try replacing the fuel filter usally located under the driver side of the truck inside the frame. If that is ok then you may consider the fuel pump in the gas tank.
The ticking I have no idea. Losing power and sputtering could be a number of problems, bad wiring harness, a short, a sensor, bad injectors, clog in a fuel line perhaps.
I would try spark plugs and wires. If it was a fuel line you would see the leak or atleast smell it very strongly. If the problem still exists after new plugs and wires try the distributor cap.
Is engine gas or diesel?
