Truck had hiccups like it was getting enough fuel , was told it was CPS so changed it yesterday. Went to go out this mourning and truck ran rough and died . Got it restarted and back home still running rough. This is first time SES light came on , so went and rented scanner and it said scan passed and no codes . Restarted again , ran rough and SES come on again . Recheck scan no codes , I am at a loss any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated.:argh:

Your local autozone code scanner will not pick up our codes, our trucks are not fully OBD2 compliant...

Without a good code read I would bet you have a UVC issue, easiest way to check is to unplug one side and try again, then the other... see if it gets better or worse.

Low fuel pressure will not cause a miss so to speak, low ICP will not cause a miss so to speak, but a bad electrical connection will every time.

Get a tube of Dielectric Grease, every connector you can pull apart on the truck should be packed full of that crap.

New to diesels what uvc ? bought it used was looking and found loose connector dont know for how long but cannot find anywhere that it should belong . Someone put pyro and boost gauges in it , would they have unhooked something to do so ? Bought truck w/232000 ran sweet till the other day , put a little over 7k miles on it changed oil , air filter and fuel filter , really wondering what went wrong , will go and pack connectors see if that helps thanks .

UVC is the Under Valve Cover Harness

I pulled their chip and reinstall the PCM and wa-la my Stroker lives again , :::c:fired right up no SES lights zip , nada , man I am one happy MOFO ! Thanks to all for advice . :tu: P.S. Now I really need to win some of that BITCHIN stuff in the free giveaway so I can have a few more ponies in my beast.
