    Unit was removed and whole new system installed. No problems so far. Looks to have been a bad install of the wiring.

    the problem is that qualcomm uses datalink and CAN (j1939) of your truck. if wiring is short ore CAN tranciver chip inside quallcom fails datalink ore CAN is down and for example engine cant start becouse engine ECM got no data about tranny (is it in N position).

    the last time I had similar problem with aftermarket GPS/FMS on Renault truck. they could not start it till I removed faulty unit

    I just love how they couldn't communicate with the ECM, so they just start digging into it and pulling the injectors out. I mean, who cares if the ECM works, lets just change out injectors. I hope they didn't try to charge you for doing all this labor.
