Truck died. Gen2.

[Bullishone]

What the ****.

I went to the exhaust place to get the SPDs installed, was waiting outside as they were closed... So I get in the truck, start it and it keeps turning over. Weird. So I try again same thing this time it flashes errors. I go to reset it by opening the door, arming alarm, disarming etc... Finally it starts. It's sluggish as hell, hesitating, and it has a Terrain Management Error.

No idea what caused it but I drove it at slow speeds all the way to the dealer. Turbos were disengaged I guess since the check engine light remained on.

WTF WTF WTF.

I can only imagine what would have happened if this occurred after I left the shop! I would have blamed them.

Any ideas?

Probably just a software thing. The last Gen had a couple code bugs as well.

I'm sure it's nothing big.

Edit: I wonder if disconnecting the battery for a bit would have had any impact. I did it for the 'hill descent control fault' like 30k miles ago. No issues since.

Yeah I'd hope so. When I went to the dealer it started fine. Then I left the truck came back and tried again and it just turned over. I think it's a bigger issue. I hope it has nothing to do with the Boostmax or PedalMax.

Best first step in troubleshooting right there. "What did I do to this thing last?"

Kinda sounds like the issues others were having when the wiring harness was hitting the exhaust.

What wiring harness

There are some post about the, I believe, ECU wiring harness not being completely secured and they are contacting the exhaust and melting. Do a search on this site, there are posted pics. Hope this helps, or at least eliminates this as the issue.
