Cutout/ Hiccup cause

So I'm driving along at 60mph towing 2 rolls of hay on my 16' trailer when my truck does this thing that lasts about a half second. I thought it was a backfire but there was no boom. I did not get any dash lights or anything. I think I remember it doing this once about 2 months ago also. Any ideas?

Thats what it sounds like. If it happens again catch a glimpse of the tach it should drop like you cut the key off.

reagin - The one I found at ford parts said they were for a f150 and were a little over $21 even though I looked for an f250 sensor. Heres the link
https://fordparts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html

Are these the same ones you were talking about.

BTW - yes, the tack did head for zero instantly during the hiccup which I guess further supports the CPS diagnosis.

None of the parts stores are open, and I forgot to carry a spare fuel pump with me. Woops.

F150 is probably a gasser, are they the same, probably not!!!!!
