WTH was THAT about?

anybody else have the following happen while in regen?

I was driving on level ground in a regen. The truck felt like it downshifted, but didn't since the RPM's stayed the same, but the boost gauge shot up to 20lbs, then back to 5ish, then back to 20, then back to 5ish, 3 or 4 times. Then everything went back to normal, and the regen continued for another 10 miles or so and went away. first time it happened, but freaked me out for 1/2 a second when it felt like it had downshifted. Had me thinking I'd lost the tranny and caused a pucker factor of "10" since I was in the middle of nowhere.

I have had a hiccup once or twice, nothing to get concerned about imho. I think it was just a bit of confusing in the programming.

I have had it happen with cruise control and a load going up hill. But no ill effects.

I have had some jitters during regen. Never paid attention to boost when it was happening. I'll have to watch next time I drive the truck. November
