@BG1988 I had crazy electrical issues including truck not starting to losing power on the freeway after a carwash one day. It ended up being the negative battery cable. I could tell because when I jiggled it my electrics would flicker.
Oh no here we go...welcome to Bretts world.:crazy:

well it worked good for a while after replacement of the battery

then the issue started again

after i cleaned up the power cables

worked fine for a while then it came back

change the MAF sensor (IAT was incorrect)

worked fine for a while then the issue came back
I thought it was the MAP sensor?

That is definitley the "Terminator, Ill be back" code! Hey, each time you fiddle with the bat cables it has an effect, Change the cables or cut and swedge new ends to rule them out completely?

And then there are trucks that punish you for fixing them. Tighten the rattling door, lose your AC. Long list and I know I'm not alone.

Let’s hear the list. Never had a truck do that to me, maybe I’m lucky?

tighten all the posts and mounts to the chassis. Simple check may help remove the electrical issues. Mechanics often forget to tighten the posts after doing any basic work requiring to power down vehicles
