Power loss
HELP!! 2006 2500 4x4 5.9 Cummins, 110,000 miles. All maintenance kept up to date. (Has new air filter and fuel filter). Truck has always run great. Pulled a trailer to Calif from Texas last week. It was running normal, then in New Mexico it started losing power (shut down) at about 2600 rpm. If I was accelerating, it would run normal then around 2600 rpm it would blow out a big puff of black smoke, lose all power (as if you turned off the key). When I let off the accelerator and slow down a few MPH, it would start running normal again. As soon as I'd get around 85 mph (in drive), it would do it again. If I kept it around 75-80 (in high gear), it ran great. However, it does this in ALL gears when I hit 2600 rpm. It's like having a governor (except lose of power instead of a leveling off). The first time it happened, I thought it was starving for fuel. However, it always does it at same RPM (whether accelerating slowly, or if pushing it).
Any input would be appreciated!
