What might cause a Ford 5.4 engine to start whining and lose speed and lock up if the oil light did not come on?

Coolant or gasoline mixed with the oil. The oil light will only come on when the pressure drops. Drain the oil and see if it contains coolant or gasoline. You can smell the gas in the oil. Water will settle to the bottom.
