Ok, coming down from Seattle today on I-5 I was rolling along at 70 manual throttle. Rolled up a little hill, the engine would chug or hesitate. Then on another hill, cruise control on, it did it again. This time when the tranny down shifted to keep rolling at 70, it stopped, (the chugging) and cruised right up over with out missing a beat.

No codes listed. Italian tune up? Last Friday pulled 8800lbs 300 miles from Medford Oregon to Portland, Oregon. 4 passes. Each about 1000 ft. elevation change. No problems. Been "hammering on the throttle" before leaving town last week.
Run Power service diesel clean (grey bottle) every tank. Buy my fuel at mass quantity fuel stop. ( Pilot on I-5 in Central Point Oregon ) Oil changed 500 miles before trip.
checked for water in fuel, none.
Fuel filters changed 6000 miles ago. All OEM filters
IF you can moniter icp voltage that would be icpv. there is a way to do it and it is listed in the 6.0 info/tech folder. I woudl post a link to it but Im not sure were it is as I have never looked in the folder (sorry to admit that).
It would not hert to look at the ebp, ebp tube and map hose. also check the map port in the intake. you may even want to remove and clean the IAT2
next time try it w/o speed controll on to varifiy what I said. I think the speed contoll on the diesel trucks kinda sucks unless your on flat ground.
