Usually cutting out like that is from a bad wire that is shorting out. The IPR connector wire is a good candidate to look at. You will need to start wiggling the wires as the truck is running. If you hear or feel a stumble, start looking more closely.

Another good spot to look at is the drivers side valve cover area. The wire harness to the engine tends to wear on the valve cover.
