Cutting out while driving

I'm on my way back from Florida, I'm running 75 @ 1900 rpm. I felt my motor cutting out a few times. Fuel pressure stays constant at 50, egts at 900, boost at 10 psi. It's all reading normal, but it cut out like it wanted to die, then clear up just as fast as it happened. Any ideas? It hasn't done it in about 10 minutes. Hopefully it won't do it anymore.

Sounds like wire chafing, while the truck is idling gently move the wire harness around coming from the FICM going to the injectors.

Sorry for the delay guys. I parked it when I got home and started around the house. I havent even actually thought about it since I got home. I'll pull the EGR tomorrow and look. If there is carbon, clean it. And that should fix it?

Also, I do the wiring harness as well.

I made it all the way home, but near about 30 miles away, it started doing it alot. I had a wrecker dialed in my phone, and my finger on send. Thats how close I thought it was to just dyin out on me.
