Angry truck Running Ugly

Ok today on my way to work doing about 55mph and the truck acted like it was going to die for spilt second. Like I got no power. It kept doing this. I didn't pay attention to the other guages, just noticed the rpm's would bottom then go back to where they were. I drive home no problems till I am almost home. stumbles liek before and catchse back up.

I pull into garage lift hood with it running. starts running bad and dies. So I start it back up. runs for a bit and notice my Odometer flash ---------- across it. Speedo pegs at 140 and stays there after thr truck dies.

Restart, same thing. I pulled my chip and pushed it in and out a few times.

Started it up runs fine for now. Need to go for a drive later.

Does this sound like bad contact between chip and PCM??

If it does it again I will pull chip and put on stock Maf and see if it still does it.

That ------ seems like a sign that the chip is loose. I'd check the contacts on the PCM too...they may be worn.
