Archived cummins cuttin out on highway

[CATpower21]

Recently i have been having a problem when driving on the highway. Basically what happens is that i will be driving and the gas pedal will be depressed as in normal driving and then all of a sudden the motor will stop turning rpms and will not allow me to accelerate at all, although the motor still idles. I still tried pressing the gas pedal but got nothing, so i down shifted thinking that might help, but nope, so finally i got down to about 2nd or 3rd gear and the motor shut off. I wasnt travelling anymore than 75mph or more than maybe 2200-2300rpm. Upon restarting the engine, it accelerated fine again and i got up to about around 60mph and it cut out again and did the same exact thing. Also the stretch of highway i travel on is only takes about 10 minutes to travel on so it is not a long drive at all. Hopefully someone can give me some insight as to what could be happening here and hopefully i gave enough detail about the situation, and if i missed anything id be happy to explain further.

Thanks guys

What are you driving?

Cat,

In order for us to possibly help you, please tell us what you drive. There are different things that happen to Cummins pertaining to certain years. I would repost this in the 911 section if it's not there already. Good luck. Herb
