If the truck is revving up like you said and the engaging, that sounds transmission related to me. A symptom like that can be as simple as a low transmission fluid level to internal damage. Have a transmission mechanic diagnose the issue. Any lights lit up on the instrument cluster like the check engine light? If so scan for the trouble codes.
Odds are the transmission is getting read to pack it in.
