2006 f650 cummins dies while driving

[mtlman]

I have an '06 f650 rollback with a 5.9 cummins and automatic trans. Sometimes when you put it under a load, like when you are going up a hill and when the tranny is about to downshift it shuts down, and if you wait about 10 minutes it will start back up. If you manually downshift, the truck
doesn't cut off. Has anyone ever seen this?

2006 Cummins-equipped trucks limited to 45 MPH:

Cam Position Sensor Recall 07S57:
1997 through 2008 model year Ford trucks and vans are being recalled for replacement on the camshaft position sensor (CMP). Affected parts are the old black sensor with the gold-colored retainer. The CMP will be inspected and replaced, if applicable, with the new gray sensor with silver retainer (P/N F7TZ-12K073-B). If the trcuk already has the gray sensor, it will be released with no repair. If you have already paid to have the gray sensor installed (either warranty deductable or out of warranty), reimbursment is available. Instructions for reimbursment will be included with the recall letter. If you had the CMP replace recently and the old black sensor was installed, you MAY be eligable for reimbursement. Due to the high volume of affected vehicles, new sensor may not be in stock. I advise you call the dealership before going in.

I called our local dealer and checked for recalls, and there are none open.
One thing we just found was where the harness connects to the pcm, the
harness has a clamp that gets bolted on the side of the pcm and it was not
bolted down. every time you would grab the harness and move it a little bit
you get a reaction out of the truck. We put some di-electric grease in the
pin connection and tightened it down and properly installed the clamp and
hopefully it will take care of things,if not I may need to do a harness repair.
