hello i just installed a new vp44 injection pump and new filter as the other day truck just quit on the highway so the garage says it needed new injection pump ok so got that done now as i drive the truck down the highway around 80kmh the truck starts bucking like starving for fuel but drives fine at 50 kmh could it be this sensor causing this issue ? its a 2000 dodge ram cummins 3500 5.9 diesel i dont want to be spending piles of money troubleshooting this fix

You going to want to get a good read on the lift pump pressure. Usually when a vehicle starts to buck on the top end, its a result of inadequate fuel supply from the lift pump itself.

Excellent! Just installed a new TPS/APPS on my 03 3500 5-speed. Most difficult part for me was getting the probe properly set, it was simply a matter of gently nudging the APPS to get the .55 after tightening the screes. She's set perfectly, thanks to your great video. One more satisfactory purchase from Thoroughbred.

Maybe you know the answer to this unique issue I have on my 2005 Dodge Ram 5.9 Cummins automatic w/overdrive transmission? 196,000 miles. It's the original transmission and motor. All fluids/oils and filters regularly changed and kept clean/new. Not used to tow often...4-5 times a year at most and 8,000 lb loads at most. I've asked 4 tranny shops and a few forums and Facebook groups but no luck finding same problem or proper fix. I'm wondering if I'm just that special?!?? Lol One mild Fall day last year I had driven 260 miles on interstate at about 75-80 mph. It began slowly reducing speed over 6 miles from 80 to 15mph. Moving fuel pedal would not do anything but make it stumble a little a couple dozen RPMs up or down. Stopping and restarting it immediately did not help nor did changing gears manually. All fluids were fine, not too hot and no burning of anything fluid or conduit wire was observed. All looked good under and above it. I stopped it for 30 minutes as I checked it over. It would drive normally after that, but it would only go 25-30 miles before it would slowly slow down again as described above. I did this over many cycles all the way home 260 miles. I'd turn it off and on again, completely off as it rested for 25 minutes. The batteries seemed to be getting charged (started well each time) and no warning lights were on. Once or twice, when I drove it until it would not even crawl anymore (1-2 mph, I was testing it), it stalled. So it wasn't hard starting or hard-stalling unless I took it all the way down to 1-2 mph speed. It was not idling weird either. Could this be an electrical ground failure or electronic issue? If I had a battery connection loose or anything disrupting the flow could it cause this? It seems like something is getting tired and needing to cool down or something but nothing was overly hot or smoking. What's weird to me is it's not slipping in the usual way of revving up but not moving. It would usually get no lower than idle. Tranny shops haven't heard of this before. No transmission codes either. They want to charge me $3,000+ for new or rebuilt tranny. I want to rule out wiring and electronics (that don't throw codes) first. Any suggestions? Heard of this ever before for an automatic transmission? Thanks!
