    I have a 2015 Peterbilt 579. While driving, my dash, computer screen(radio) powers shuts off and engine stalls while driving. I don't know what to do. all the power in my cabins goes dark while I AM DRIVING!!!! It shuts down the engine as well. then after 5 or ten seconds, it powers back up.Yesterday this happened at 67 miles per hour. I had to come to a complete stop, then restart the engine. Has anyone heard of anything like this? I have a Cummings engine.

    Just below the firewall, there will be a bunch of wires bundled together and tied to a metal bracket right where they curve under the front of the cab. Pull all those wires loose, cut them all apart from the big bundle, and start looking for bare spots.
