I received this error a few times before a breakdown - turns out the wiring from the TIPM to my fuel pump had a break in it, and the inconsistent connection would flip out the ECU and kicking up the throttle code from time to time as well (that is, until the broken wire stayed broken for good)...

Hands free microphones for Uconnect and when you're on the phone. The auto-dimmer is built into the back of the mirror, and a humidity sensor for the climate control is a little box stuck to the glass to the right of the mirror-mount. The more I uncover the toys on this rig, the more I...

I ran the newly recommended 5w40 and wasn't really happy with the oil pressure numbers I was seeing - though it never changed or deviated. I'm also aware the display of oil pressure is based on an algorithm, not an actual figure. I thought I'd try Rotella T6 15w40 this go round, since I live in...

Thanks TC ... turns out the problem I described and symptoms were something a fellow Youtuber went through several times in his 10+ years of ownership. I ended up replacing the right-rear bag in less than 45 minutes and road tested it picking up 400 pounds of topsoil for my folks. Looks like I'm...

Update : This morning was fine, although by the time I got to work, it didn't want to air up. I left it in the current normal setting and headed into the shop. About 8 hours later, I was on the bump-stop on the right rear again. Fired it up, set it to O/R 1, heard some sounds, mostly the...

You'll probably have to get AlfaOBD and turn off the features in the computer so it stops nagging you about it. I thought about doing this as well, but in all honesty, I kind-of like the bouncy-castle, and I found a source for replacement air-springs for a little over a hundred and some change.

So.. as this topic seems to be stirring up a debate, I'll drop a few figures here as I've been toying with this idea of "black diesel" for quite a while now. About 20 years ago or so, I owned a 79 Mercedes 300D ... made the same year I was born. My tailpipe always smelled like fried fish, or...

What I thought I'd do is detail every little symptom just in case any of you have experienced or even "felt" this with your air ride. I replied in the "Right rear" thread, but I thought I'd build on it with a more specific set of issues. I'm working with a 2016 Lone Star, "air ride is nice ...

Question, what line did you install the can in between? I'm considering doing this on the PCV side of the system since my tune already closed off the EGR.

I just began having this same issue - if it's a leak, it's REALLY random and not consistent. Yesterday, naturally on the day I had to haul paving stones and some top soil, it decided to "take a leak" ... this morning, I've been running errands, with no issues whatsoever. The system also seems to...

This may seem outrageous to the layman, but I've seen people with older rigs running 12-valves, and IDI's change their oil, and use what they drained as fuel. Seems crazy, but also, it seems to work for those. I know our fuel systems are really sensitive, and our fuel filters down down to as...

I recently changed out my bumpers (my rear one had a hole of rust in the corner after only 7 years in Texas!) and decided to tackle the job of transferring over my parking assist sensors today. After reaming out the holes in the new bumper with a step bit, I ended up having to lengthen the...

I too, took John's experience into consideration before buying my tune. My experience was quite a bit different, but then again, I believe the timing played a factor in my tune as well. I purchased my SFT tune about two or so weeks ago - this was after my truck had all of its recall work done...

I'm considering laying out the dough for one of those Autel scanners, but I'm not sure if it's going to do what I want ... maybe I'll just need to go the AlfaOBD route. Question I have is, have any of you found a way to modify the speed thresholds for the Off-road 1 and 2 settings? While I...

I had something similar happen a little over a year ago. I literally told them "I have no power to the pump, I can't hear it" - they tried to sell me $15,000 dollars in an entire new fuel system. My warranty wouldn't cover it either because they claimed "contamination" - I allowed them to change...
