It sounds like you're on the right track with your diagnosis, and the fact that the codes cleared temporarily is a good indication that there might be a communication issue, likely related to the TIPM as you speculated. The U0141 code indicates that there is a loss of communication with the PCM...

Yep, sounds like a pulley to me too!

Battery drain issues can be tricky to diagnose, especially if it’s been going on since new. Here are a few suggestions that might help you further isolate the problem: Parasitic Draw Test: Since your dealer mentioned it’s normal to have some drain, it's worth measuring the parasitic draw. You...

The symptoms you’re describing, especially with the multiple U codes and limp mode activation, could indeed point towards a communication issue within the vehicle’s electronic systems. Since you've replaced several key components, it’s good that you’re considering wiring and ground connections...

The symptoms you're experiencing with the harsh 1st to 2nd shift could be related to the internal components of the transmission, especially given the history with the electrical issues stemming from the lightning strike. The P0868 code indicates low transmission fluid pressure, which can lead...

Damn, that's rough! I've bought RVs before but only used ones so no warranty obviously. Like you, I've just gotten in the habit of doing my own repairs. These days it's really damn hard to find good techs and I don't trust anyone working on my vehicles other than myself. Sure, there's certain...

Teslas way of doing it is IMHO the right way. I agree with everything you said. We live in an age where I can buy anything online. Why can't I buy a car online and have it delivered to me (I can with Tesla)? Why do I have to go down to a dealership and sit in some sleazeballs office while he...

I hope every dealer goes out of business. There's nothing worse than dealing with car dealerships. It's an old, antiquated, and outdated model that desperately needs to change.

New diesels are absolutely awful. Emissions in this country killed the diesel. They have nothing but problems and you'll realize that the longer you own it.

If they are leaking or riding poorly, then I would replace them. Shocks are subjective though, they really are. If you want a softer ride go with a shock like the Rancho RS5000X. If you want a firmer / sportier ride go with something like the Fox or Bilsteins.

More holes in the injectors doesn't mean anything unless you're building race engines. Waste of time, waste of money. You're drinking the Kool-Aid.

I don't think the 3.6 sounds very aggressive is the problem ;) That's subjective obviously, but whenever I hear them with exhausts they don't sound very good.

X2 to this. All of what you're after is a waste of money. A CAI and a catback will provide little to no horsepower gain (negligible at best) and the only reason you need new shocks is if you plan on lifting it, at which point I would then ask you how much of a lift, what size tires, and what do...
