Only time I've had an LS engine cut out is due to either a loose spark plug wire (you really have to push down hard until it clicks) or a dirty MAF. You can clean the MAF with maf cleaner or electrical cleaner.

Might want to look at the fuel pump too. Could be having an issue where its getting too hot and shutting down, or an ignition/coil problem.

I would say maf maybe too. I can really cause your car to do weird things. Start there as its an easy fix. I dont think heat is a problem since his temp is only 195 which is actually a little low for prolonged highway driving.
