07 14l Detroit freightliner century... Been taking to Tracey road equipment of Rochester NY which is supposed to be a freightliner service/ dealer

This problem has been on going since last summer... Truck randomly shuts off and engine fan pops on with the yellow/ red dash lights... Sometimes its 1 second and sometimes the truck shuts off for 10+ seconds..

Tracey spliced/re wired the old main engine harness and no issues for 3 months..issue started again and they said you need a new harness...just put new harness in and the issue is still there. Truck may go 30 miles without issue but then it can happen 5 times in 5 minutes

Tried a test ecm last summer and issue still came up..already paid Tracey over 2k so im stuck with them but I don't feel confident they can figure this out. They had truck for 2 weeks. And numerous times past summer. It originally started with the red light flashing before the truck would shut down. Now red/yellow come together and it's after the truck starts back up
Here's a video I took

Drove truck for 3+ hours yesterday before leaving today. Head out today and 40 miles later issue comes up.
