Mayday!
ok not really.
But seriously though. I need some professional help from the forum experts. I was driving back from hunting today on the freeway and I had my cruise set at about 76. when I went up a hill and it down shifted to keep speed it started to cut out at around 3500 RPMS. Then my check engine light starts flashing. After I get to the top and the RPMS drop back down its all good again , no CEL nothing and the truck runs fine. This happened a few times but when it idles it runs fine and when Im driving normal its fine. It seems like it only does it when the truck is under heavy load. I looked in the manual and it says flashing cel means misfire. Also I had the diagnostics checked and it said nothing stored. WTF! why is this happening. I dont know what the deal is please help.
