Could be your injector pump.I drive a 1999 2500 Cummins. This pump is well known to cause many problems.Have it diagnosed or it could quit on you.It is an expensive repair.There are many reconditioned pumps on-line.Be sure that is the cause before you spend.The pump is a Bosch VP44.I am not a mechanic but I am dealing with fuel supply issues.Good luck.

If this is a klunk like a split second loss of power then it is fine and it relatively consistantly does it the same way at the same time and under the same conditions and there is NO DTC'S and it is a 45 RFE or 545 RFE or 68 RFE transmission .

had the same problem it was a broken OD accumulator piston spring in the valve body. Just buy a transco SK 45RFE shift kit it comes with all the accumulator piston seals an updated and much thicker and stronger accumulator retainer plate AND the kit includes a "spare" set of accumulator springs (1 large & 1 small) in case the spring(s) are broken ,which they do from timt to time. It is only 6 bolts to remove the valve body (carefully) and 7 screws to remove the accumulator plate to access the accumulator pistons and springs. The instructions included in the kit are excellent and very straight forword, you won't need all of the parts but save them they may come in handy some day later.

If the transmission is full of fluid, then the lock up solenoid is bad or the filter needs to be replaced & have the bands adjusted, or the speed sensor isnt calibrated due to over size tires

Can you rev the engine at about 2000 rpm and for how long without dropping down..
Does the engine have a miss at any time and what type of smoke does it blow (black all the time) while you are running.. Have you a turbo on the engine.
Check the exhaust and the best way is to take it off at the manifold and see if it makes any differance ,, and let me know ASAP RON

Cummins Diesel Truck Erratic Speedometer and Shifting

Although you didn't mention it, the speedometer probably bounces also. Replacing the speed sensor on the side of the transmission should solve both your problems. Good luck

04 dodge diesel cuts out while driving at speed

Hi. I had the same problem on my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins. I went to the dealer and they did a bunch of diagnostics and they replaced my fuel pump. At the same time they put in a retrofit kit that moved the fuel pump to the inside of the gas tank. I have not had the problem since. The cost was about $1,200, but my 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty covered it and I had to pay the $100 deductible.
