Alright, 1500 mi later- I'm scratching my head still. We came up I75 to Mi, pulling like a dream. Under load ( 20k gross), on the throttle, not a problem. Even worn injectors, blah blah, I was holding 26-31k psi. Duty cycle was high, 79.5%, but the pressure stayed up. Not once did I see pressure fall till the load eased up! All good there, plenty of oil. I'm pretty sure that rules out any mechanical issues with the pump.
Having said that, at light load, part throttle, maybe 25-40%, I'm still getting the occasional hiccup. Seems to be with hot oil, never happened when the truck was coming up to temp. Under deceleration or maintaining speed. The engine never did die, but there was a distinct hiccup.
I'm going to go thru the grounds, as that seems to be a problem area, any other ideas?
