    have a 99 Kenwoth with a 1LW cat, when the air temperature gets above 80 F, and pulling hard.
    It starts bucking as if the Jake head is stuck on. Have had it in to diagnose and no help as of yet.
    No engine code is coming up, only does it in the top 3 gears.

    Do you have a fuel pressure gauge in the cab? Demand for fuel is highest in the higher gears, could be starving for fuel.

    Change you fuel filters first and see what happens, CATs LOVE fuel and start getting real finicky when they don't get all the fuel they want.
