Truck did another major shutdown last saturday night. threw another couple codes, however, it was only the bdy and headlight modules.. so thinking night time has something to do with it. Luckily, it happened while at a light about to go..as I was driving in sport for few minutes enjoying it and forgetting that it would have any issues.. well, it did it again but this time.. had some clicking noises and was not entirely shut 'off'..fast forward to sunday.. in a 103 degree heat, i decided to do some inspecting.. I will spare everyone my sarcastic video showing and reminding people to always check the most basic things and start there. Sooo, with that said... I went to place a socket on the neg term of the battery thinking, well, I'll start by trying to clear some bugs/memory and start pulling some components that were recently installed. Well, as I was testing the ahem, nut.. I noticed that the terminal was not even tight.. in fact, loose. very loose. Wow.. Hmmm... I said... wonder if that could cause issues with this overly sensitive computer with a 700HP engine inside. I do not know for sure, but I am pretty hopeful that this was it.. kind of makes a bit of sense, except for the old days when you didn't need a battery once your vehicle was on. but maybe when the connection gets toggled constantly, and being the - side of a DC circuit..? So, crossing fingers on that..So lesson for the day.. don't jump start anyone's car, unless you connect it.. and always, check on your battery connections for farts sake!  (I really hope that was the gremlin.. )Now on to the physical **** up the truck is doing..there is a noise coming from underneath, that sounds like, i want to say, like the nubs of the tire rubbing ever so slightly on some plastic.. you all know what I am referring to. When we put those bad ass looking tires on and it doesn't quite 'fit' when you make a turn? LOL... but I have not changed wheels or tires or suspension params whatsoever..here is a video with the noise i am hearing..do not think its the hubs as i had lifted each tire off on sunday and tested each wheel in 4A, 4HI, and 2.. and listened to the mech sound like it worked. wheels connected to shafts and moved them while in 4A and transfer held when it was in 4HI.. and released when back to 2..for some context, this seems to happen while turning a bit if not all the way, but even little.. which now is making me think of the torsion..? center clutch pac??</blockquote>
