What it did do was after making a corner, whether stopped or rolled through, then applying the gas, either WOT or easing into it (pulling into traffic). So in a scientific manner I made laps last night getting the power to cut out every single damn time.
Some intense internet researching with different keys words landed me with the suggestion to conduct a zero point calibration. The only thing was that the folks saying this should be conducted had VSC lights on and holding on the dash. I though what the hell it couldn’t hurt.

Did as the instructions said, then drove it again. This time the VSC engaged with the blinking skid light, then an audible alarm, then reduction of rpms, for 1-2 seconds, and back to normal. I could not get the truck to repeat the loss of power for no apparent reason. Zero Calibration worked in solving this problem.

I lied it still does it. Now we nicknamed it the Murdersequoia.
