Is this when you rev it in neutral?

In neutral I would imagine you are hitting the rev limiter...not a good idea to rev a diesel in neutral.

yea the predator will connect but it wont read diagnostic codes. i had a hell of a time trying to get the tune to download into the truck. the only way i got it to go back to the backup tune was to wiggle the connector and try it a few times. and the times it doesnt download it will erase the tune out of my truck and leave me a blank ECM and then the truck wont start and i have to try to reload the backup tune again.

Sounds like a bad connection in the OBDII port maybe...

hey, i have this problem with my preditor, not sure if its an inj knock, its something in the programming, when in park or neutral and u tap on the throttle it revs up and is choppy coming back down to idle, its like a surge no fuel the surge etc, it also does this if cruise is on or on the pedal going 65mph or faster shutting off cruise or taking your foot off the pedal it surges? any help?
thanks
