Mine started doing the same thing ... long pulls it would slowly drop RPMs even down to 7300 and it would just get worse
I'd let it sit and cool off a bit and it was good again, I noted that my clutches and belt were not getting too hot
A buddy of mine suggested it's the pipe temp / coolant temp sensor causing the sled to pull timing, maybe a faulty sensor ? maybe it's burning out ? maybe poor timing mapping ? I might try to run a cooler thermostat and see if that fixes the problem, or shim my pipe / can temp sensors
This happened before my "xm problems" thread where it completely died and to this day noone's been able to fix it. So hopefully yours won't suffer the same fate!
One beef I have with the diagnostic process everything always seems to look good at the shop when the sled is running on a stand, but once it's been running for half a day or a long pull things seem to take a turn .. maybe the coils get hot and start to manfunction? maybe the stator? maybe the sensors only malfunction when they get super hot ? who knows ..
I wish dealers would take sleds up for long pulls with BUDS attached and logged the parameters, if such a thing was possible ! I know I would if I had access to the program
Anyway .. I've rebuilt my primary and installed the RB clutch kit, didn't get any long pulls since the sled died again, so if it ever gets fixed i'll see if my long pull rpm fade issue has been resolved by the clutching or if it's an ECU / pipe temp / timing engine issue...
