HELP...Truck cuts out under power!
I am at a loss for ideas here! The truck starts up and idles perfectly, then about 30 MPH cuts out and falls on its face! It even dies sometimes!....Installed a clear fuel line and cant see any bubbles...dont know where else to look!

My first thought would be a bad fuel pump. I'd need to know a little bit more about your setup, but you might want to post this in the 1st gen section, they can help you out.

Start with this, get the connection secured first, if it still does it you can remove the plunger and spring to eliminate that from the equation and if it still dies it could be broken plunger return springs in the pump, its been known to happen, I had two different pumps do that.

Could this be fuel or electrical?? Yes. About the only electrical issue I could think of is the shut off solonoid. An otherwise healthy 1st gen Cummins will run if it is getting fuel and air.
I don't think a seeping injector will cause more than a miss and or wasted fuel.
A Cummins in a GMC?? Isn't that like a diamond in a goats hinder?? Just kidding, sounds like a cool truck.

AMEN, to checking the power lead to the solenoid, this weekend my 93 would build 5lbs of boost at any speed then fall on its face. The third time it did it, it died and the connector to the solenoid was very loose, mushed it down with some pliers and good to go.
