loss of throttle

loss of throttle
When i get up to about 72 mph or so and hold it there for a while (5 minutes plus), my truck decides to drop all excelleration as if i let off the pedal... It doesnt matter how hard i push, i loose the throttle responce... In about 20 seconds, i regain control of the trottle and the truck has complete power again... It did this five times within about 50 miles one day on the interstate...
I've used three different settings on my tuner, took cruise off all together, and I still have the problem... The tuner records show normal operation and all my guages look normal during this...
It doesn't act like a fuel filter, and being the current filter is new, i don't see it being that... And i don't have to pull over and turn the key off, etc... I'm stumped here... ANybody have problems like this??? I'm thinking throttle position sensor, but wanted some other input before assuming anything...

Yeah, i did the fuel filter about 2000 miles ago and it did it before that too... I have two thoughts in mind - over boosting or throttle position sensor...
I think GM has made the LB7's to not overboost on stock trucks tho... And the throttle sensor seems like it would do it at any speed... It makes me crazy cause i am totally lost with it...

That's exactly what's happening... I have to get below 65 or so before i get throttle again... Is there a fix for this???

I'm gonna put the programmer back to stock settings and see if it does it still... Then go from there i guess...
