have you tried doing that key on off 8 times and hit the lock unlock on your remotes.I have no idea on how to help you out

 

[Arisley]

Hood insulation delete. I have no clue either. Let us know.

punch a whole in the fuel tank and light it


seriously, do you think it is mechanical or electrical? to me it sounds like something with programming.

 

[whiteduallyil]

you saying the gem module does have to be programmed??
thrust me i have had to walk away when working on the truck i was rady to wing a wrench at the truck a few times and i mean i ahve had to get in my jeep and drive away for an hour to cool off.

 

[Arisley]

I don't think a GEM has to be programmed. Have you tried swapping around relays, they are mostly the same relay. Some are hidden really well, there are three or four where the firewall meets the floorboard hump. Real PITA to see, much less touch, or actually remove. Just a WAG.

 

[slowleak]

Yeah I don't know about programming a gem, I don't even no wut it is lol I just thought it sounded more electrical like some sort of controller or something, a stcicking relay would make sense

 

[whiteduallyil]

i hear that about the relay im thinginng maybe the vsm since that has the relays in it that control the door actuators.

anybody have an idea about the running issue its not a bad problem but when i have to drive 2000 miles with 9 horses on the truck i want to make sure its not bigger problem starting.

 

[Sapps]

I cant help ya with the truck but 9 horses 2000 miles is what I do for a living. Let me know if you need any help. Good Luck

the engine brake thing sounds like the TCC to me but not sure. something to look into.

 

[Sapps]

Does it have any codes stored?

 

[whiteduallyil]

thxs sapps for the help with the horses but i have to get to florida then get to ohi for congress for showing...
i cleaned the battery cables and that seemed to fix the electrical problem then i wet through the fuel system and found a ton of like sand in the fuel filter housing so i cleaned that out and drove to the barn and back today and it hasnt acted up so maybe it was that il drive it more and see. thxs for the help keep the ideass coming.
no codes that i know of yet
