Hello forum,
While driving down the highway at 70mph truck lost power. Happened 1 mile from a rest area (Thank you Lord). I was able to coast into a parking spot. Started the truck shortly after and all was well. I did receive the below code. Idled for a bit and took off down the road. No problems for about an hour and a half. Problem repeated itself. Coasted to the shoulder, stopped the truck, engine shutdown. I then started engine continued to finish my day (1.5hrs) and shut it down. Been doing some research today to see what i come up with.
Cruise control works as well as Jakes. I do have a VEC warning on the dash, but it's been like this since I bought the truck over a year ago which has not posed any problems.
A few weeks ago, the module for the radar system mounted to the top of the windshield lost its adhesive. The module was swinging from the windshield for the day until I was able to get some double-sided tape. Before I taped it back to the windshield it would beep a lot through the speakers. I did notice a piece of electrical tape over the eye of the radar before mounting back to the windshield. I left the tape on it. It would seem the previous owner was "tricking" the radar system seeing how those systems on a semi would be irritating.
Any input is appreciated,
Thank you,
Tee
