this is strange
i recently got the DP-Chip i love it but...
i was drivin home from work today on 120 race tryin it out, came to a hill, and 3rd gear pulled it..it was boggin a little but not enough to downshift and EGTS were around 900 and good boost. I came to the top and my RPM guage went to zero and SES came on and the truck defueled from what i heard(radio was up). So i coasted off the road and waited about 2 mins an fired it back up, fired up fine..and i drove the rest of the way on 80eco. i went to turn into my road and when i slowed down(downhill), and it did it again
.Tryed to start it but wouldnt so i waited about 2 mins while there 10 cars behind me and fired it up and and went about an 1/8 mile to my house
So what could be doin this?
i thought i mighta been pullin to hard on it but when it did it when i was goin downhill, im lost
Thanks

I'm bettin the farm (figure of speech) on the CPS.
Exact same symtoms mine displayed. Just to finish diagnosing this, does your tach move when trying to restart immediately after dying. If no, youre CPS is failed.
Off topic: I do not know how ford Execs. sleep at night. They know the amount of gross weight pulled behind our trucks on a daily basis in this country, and throught the world (Flywest),with the possibility of a badly designed hall-effect sensor going out. I live in NE PA in some mountanous areas. Mine went out just as I topped a mountain. It failed before i made my descent. I always take my time when descending mountains now in fear of the CPS going out, even without a load, due to the brakes hardly working when engine dies.

to pullin
i forgot to check if the rpms would go up or not
l live in PA, about 40 minutes from pittsburgh and there are alot of mountains
so i guess its bad to drive if the CPS did go out?
anyone have any ideas of good cluch upgrades without spendin an arm and a leg?

IF it did go out on you recently, its gonna happen again.
Good way to check if youre clutch is slipping: crawl under truck and do some sniffin around the inspection plate on youre six speed. It'll def smell burnt.
When the day comes, I'm goin to a twin disc like Mech has. The pedal is "supposed" to be as easy as OEM. I would do some research on the set-up and maybe start a new topic to get some answers. For right now, I get no slippage on a stock replacement clutch, on 80 econo, puorin the coal on.

Here's another off topic: If someone could design a CPS that doesn't fail or a mod to get rid of it they would be guaranteed millions of dollars in profits. I would remove the one I put in last month for a better design!

I thought that was only good for checking 2000 and prior trucks...I thought he had an 01.
