Hey guys thanks for all the input..
I have checked all the hoses...they appear to be factory and very firm do can't see them collapsing under suction.
The breather is actually a good idea one I am near the truck again I will check it out.
It definitely feels like fuel...if it was engine electrical I feel like I would at least get a check engine light.
Keep the ideas coming
Does the bosch common rail on this engine generally reliable?

Yes and no.
Reliable in a sense that they rarely have minor issues (such as this). But when they fail - they take the entire fuel system with them, and its an expensive repair.
I can only add to what others have mentioned, its almost certainly a fuel related issue, in not getting enough fuel to the pump, something which you should be concerned about as the high pressure Bosch pump is lubricated by fuel, and if it isn't getting enough its likely to have that aforementioned catastrophic failure.

Hey guys
Just a little update...first time been able to work on the truck in the last few weeks but I have noticed this problem only happens when the auto shifts to third gear so I think it is some sort of transmission induced limp mode.
I did find a sketchy wire repair so once I diagnose that a bit I will see if that's the problem.

Pump out your fuel tank. start with a fresh 4-5 gallons of diesel. just to eliminate the chance of bad fuel. Before this start with a fresh fuel filter. Remember to fill up the filter with fresh diesel or you will be priming it forever.

That is great news, I also had a similar issue with my GQ patrol, turned out there was a hidden thimble size filter inside the injector pump. Fished it out of the pump with a paper clip and replaced, full power restored to the patrol.
