I Blew a Head gasket while racing at WOT, and that isn't too difficult to understand, except it shouldn't have happened.
The short story is the truck hiccuped. I was thinking I had an electrical gremlin to track down and diagnose because the truck ran perfect, it hiccuped and then continued to run smooth for another 500 miles before doing it again. It happened so quick, and without warning, and then wouldn't do it again.
I've had these CPS fail on other trucks and it was no big deal, and I've never had one act like this before.
Motor is now fixed, and a few thousand miles later, it briefly cutout again.
After all this time and money, it was the Cam Position Sensor.
Guys, the CPS is now a cheap item and if you are running 3 and 4 times stock HP levels. Don't hesitate to put a fresh one in. Hard to believe a $30 item can mess up a perfect engine and light money on fire in a blink.
I hope my expensive lesson helps someone avoid the same fate.
