I sometimes when I am driving down the highway the truck starts to sputter, and it slows down, sometimes this continues for 5 minutes and stops and others it happens for a while.

I have cleaned the fuel injectors, oil change, no one can tell me what the problem is.

Has the check engine light come on? Also, it sounds like the fuel pump may be going bad. Does it seem to happen more under a load?

No, the only time I see the check engine light is when I start up the truck, but I have never seen it come on when I am driving down the road.

I don't haul anything in my truck it can happen in an incline or on a straight road.

I had asked someone to check the fuel filter, and he said the filter was fine, and when idling there was nothing wrong.

Someone said it could be the transmission, I don't know. I just didn't think I would have these problems as I have had the truck since it came off the truck.

I would start with checking for vacuum leaks and check the fuel pressure.
