Gateway unable to communicate with alternator or battery current sensor. Both will likely be on the same LIN bus, hence the "Local Databus -- Electrical Fault in Circuit" fault.I suspect one of the two is choking the LIN bus. Unplug the signal connector from one of them, then check if the...

ETorque, MDS, Auto Start-Stop, 0W-20 oil, none of it is worth it. What motivates the manufacturers is EPA bureaucratic regulators and their carbon credits.

Stalling at 70mph is a completely separate issue from the low-speed stall and should be able to be fixed. The Star Connector should be the first point of concern.

Very interesting for me. I recorded my truck using an Android phone. When I play the mp4 back on my computer the sound is a very light ticking, just like it is in person. When I uploaded the file to my GoDaddy account and play it from MS Eclipse it sounds louder, but not as loud as your...

You must live out West somewhere as no one East of the Mississippi has the luxury of cruising over 80, at least not for long. You need to tell us the model and year but I am going to assume it's a 21 eTorque. You've done all of the right things. All ANC systems cancel low frequency, not high...

Yes, the rods will be loose until the lifters are pumped with oil. Even after that the rods should be able to be rotated on valves that are not being opened, check for a bent rod while doing this. I doubt that the problem is an unseated rod, there would just be too many other problems...

The oil pressure is normal. TDC can be found by removing the spark plugs and rotating until air is compressed out of a cylinder, then measuring as you described. It is hard to get a precise measurement this way, however, but there should be timing marks on the vibration dampener, at least for...

I have had issues with two apps, Android Auto and BluOS not connecting. Both were resolved by uninstalling the app and then re-installing it on the Android phone, even though the apps were up to date. I believe it has to do with deleting the cache. Apple is probably no different.

1) The cold air intake does nothing, it is a waste of money. 2) Raising the front of the vehicle will definitely reduce gas mileage, especially on the highway. 3) As Eighty said, larger tires is the biggest performance hit. 4) The muffler will do nothing other than make the truck louder, again a...

Yes, that looks like the Auto Park Brake setting, so when you put the truck in Park the parking brake Should Not go on. The 21 and 22s had a TSB to flash the PCM to address the low speed stall issue. I know I had mine flashed. I don't recall the TSB but if you do a search of TSBs for your...

Okay, we're a pretty smart group here but we're not clairvoyant. Most of the TSBs were for earlier years, 2019-2022. We need to know the model and year. In the safety settings turn off the Auto Engage on the parking brake. That should also prevent the automatic shift to park but I am not...

No, there is currently no known fix.

Set your rear tire pressure to 32 to 35 pounds.

It is safer to remove the negative terminal. The reason is that if you accidently touch the positive battery terminal with a metal tool while you are working, the tool is grounded to the negative terminal through the chassis and a big spark and boom is going to result. If the ground is...

The amount of oil that you remove from the catch can is the exact amount of oil that is not burned and emitted as particulates or smoke. It is typically quite small, a few ounces every 5,000 miles but enough that I believe that it may reduce soot build up on the exhaust tips. It will certainly...

I had the same issue on a Ford Escape. On that car there was a fuse bus (not the user one) next to the battery. It had seven 20 to 50 amp fuses held in with bolts. The last one was bad, not blown, bad as in coming apart. Intermittent no power and lots of weird behavior. Start doing an...

A new starter. Should be quick, easy and under warranty.

And you still believe that 0W-20 oil is good? So easily fooled.

This is the back side of the green Security Gateway Bypass (CAN-C Star Connector) located just under the Headlight switch. If one of the capacitors goes bad, or as in this case falls off, the truck goes absolutely crazy, Have the CAN_C Star replaced, just temporarily, and see if the problem...
