Cummins engine problem. Help?

Our Cummins 250 small cam, 855 cubic inch powered M813A1 5 ton truck
suddenly lost power while driving. It came back to life after turning on
and off the switches that control the fuel shutoff solenoid, amongst
other things. I checked all the wiring and switches while jiggling all
connections. Everything is fine. I suspect the actual solenoid. I
removed it and tested it with an ohmmeter. I get 29 ohms. Is this
resistance value proper? Once the truck restarted, it ran fine, with
full power. Is the solenoid something that goes bad over time? Anyone
else ever experience this? Thanks. Jim
