    I started experiencing issue at night couple weeks ago , while I was sleeping truck did shot down . Started right away after . Sometimes it drops rpm like it's going to shut down but after come back to 700rpm at idl back . During first night shut down happened 3 times and rpm dropped about 3-4 times . While driving - now issues at all . Week later same issue during idling at the auction . Several times , I tried to raise rpm to 1000 - seems ok , one time happened on the road already during driving . Finally I swapped ecm to see if that the problem , no issues for 2 days ...now again

    Could be low coolant shutting the engine down for engine protection.
    Air in the fuel or poor power and ground to the ecm.

    Clear hose or glass tube on the suction line between the frame filter and the engine to see if any bubbles come through

    Putting a clear hose there checks to see if there is air present. It could be any fuel line/ fitting leaking going back to the tank.

    I broke the fitting in the back of the ingine due to the first time doing it on the road and after installing didn't apply any Teflon or something on the fitting to make sure it's tight :((
