Default Second gen 24 valve Cummins

Truck runs and stays running for a good ten min and next thing you know it just starts bucking like crazy but I can shut it off and it start right back up no problem. I have changed the fuel filter cleaned the cable connectors from the battery the vp44 has power and I dropped the tank and cleaned it. Any suggestions as to what you think it could be It does have a power puck also

I would suspect something is getting hot, and failing.... but, there's a lotta stuff under the hood that could contribute to that......

Anything electrical...... Might be a marginal connection, failing sensor, bad ground, fuel pump getting weak.... failing lift pump, whole host of possibilities. A good scanner that can dig deep into the data would be handy to have about now.....
