Hey thanks for the reply the mechanic that worked on it knows the trucks well he mentioned some wiring issues they develop I think it sounds just like what your talking about they had a computer from another truck pluged it in and started and comunicated with the code reader so the computer was sent to be repaired main problem I think they used the SLOW BOAT TO CHINA . Thanks again
