    I have the OEM service manual with me in the truck at all times if you don't get a answer from anyone let me know and I could message you my number and I could look them up for ya. That would be just too much info for me to try to type from my phone.

    1),2), and 3) are injector codes, 4) is injector metering rail code, 5) is ABS code (I think), 6),7) and 8 are iva codes, can't find anything on 9) but they all are under the valve cover (except 5) sounds like a engine wiring harness to me, its pretty much plug and play, if its got more than 7-800,000 miles on it it probably needs a harness they are notorious for going bad.

    The truck year is a 2005 and the serial # is MXS09066. I asked my local dealer and he said these codes were not any codes that he could describe or explain. I got them from a computer scanner I bought for trucks.

    Well my injectors seem to be working fine, the truck engine runs smooth and strong. I am however having engine brake issues. Sometimes it works good but sometimes it super weak if not working at all. I have heard about the wiring going bad and I also think that could be at least part of my issues. S I'm going to change it when I get back home and see what changes. I will let you guys know if it solved my problems. Thanks a lot for the help and info!

    When you seen multiple low current codes (FMI 5), you most likely have a harness issue. The injector harness's have an very high failure rate, which is most likely 1 of your problems with the IVA codes. However, you have more going on there, the other codes do not rely on either of the injector harness's. That's more likely a main harness. You really need to get it hooked up to Cat ET and do some diagnosing.
