This is kind of strange but me and my buddy where talking the other day and we have both had the same problem. I was driving the other day going up a slight upgrade (not a hill) when all the sudden my truck accelerator acted like it just died for about 5 sec. but the truck went to idle then it picked up and hasn't done it since. Any suggestion? Is this a problem anyone else has had?

How long has it been since a fuel filter change?

You should check the wires at the pedal for wear and loose connection.There have been some reports of a bad throttle control, which required a new throttle foot pedal.

Still abot 56% left on fuel filter but the Electrical connection problem is a new one to me . Thanks for the info I'll try to check it tomorrow.
