Hello all,
So situation.
My truck was running fine 06 Mega(see sig) it was fine when I left. My wife was driving it no issues. Then it started starting weird like it wouldn't start off the key. I have a push button bypass rigged up externally already (due to weird starting issues before) so she just used that. Now the truck has nothing she turns on the key and the check engine light flashes fast and the CP3 clicks with the pulses. I read somewhere that it could be a power issue, had my wife check cables and throw the charger on it. Still nothing. Now she is driving my 6.0 and its giving her issues as well. This is all she has to drive. I am currently deployed and wont be back till Christmas so i think you can feel the pain on this one. We don't have a ton of money to tow it to a shop and pay 90$ an hour for them to walk all over her. I'd be willing to pay someone knowledgeable if they were able to come look at the truck and fix it, or if its an easy fix (my wife is somewhat mechanically inclined) could you explain to me what to tell her. I appreciate it in advance. Thank you
Also as an edit, the tranny was out recently by the stealership, so im thinking maybe they didnt hook something up right, maybe a ground? had the wife check for anything loose or not connected but she there isnt anything out of the ordinary. Tranny was out due to a mess up by them on the front pump
