    I've never seen this nor read anything about it here.

    I could imagine that there is a problem in the communication between egine ECM and truck. Check harness from ECM to firewall.

    I agree, You have a bad connection and the cab/instrument cluster appears to be losing communication with the engine.

    Hot spots would include any wiring loose or hanging around the LR or top rear of the engine. Also shakedown the datalink/ splice and wiring behind the glovebox/ Cab load center.

    Good luck, not gonna be an easy one to find unless it completely breaks.
