One of my frieds trucks did that to us once after bieng hard on the throttle. It had a Blue Chip HOT FMS, Some early Don M showerhead injectors also. He hammered down and when he let off it died. We cracked a few fuel lines and it fired right back up then and ran fine for a long time after that.

I think I read a post about a guy having this problem after a hard lap around the block and someone called it "lifting". I think they said it's when you let off too quickly, sometimes the injection pump can't match the sudden decrease or increase of fuel delivery and will die out or lose prime. I don't know if that's what your's did but it sound's similar to what I read a while back.

Ether is not ok to use. The stuff hits the grid heater... and BOOM!

Did you crack any fuel lines and try and bleed them?

Let's see, beer, ether, and massive cummins power, you are an accident waiting to happen.

Let's get to the important stuff here... ..... Did you get the burnout on video

It's not "bad" it's dangerous. It will can blow in the intake when it hits the grid heater.

basically you air locked it--as stated earlier if you're hammering the go pedal and lift suddenly the truck loses prime---just crack #3 and #4 injector until you get fuel and then tighten them back up and start it up---sometimes you need to crack #5 also---chris
