Engine trouble

[landpilot]

So a few minutes ago I was at my garage and jumped in the truck, started it up, and when I put it in gear, it felt like it slipped and the truck died. I thought well here it comes, blown engine. So I tried to restart it and it wouldn’t start, but the starter was spinning the engine for about 30 seconds then stopped. I pressed the started again and it did the same thing, but the engine seemed to be misfiring like crazy and I had to press the ignition button to make it stop. I tried a third time and the engine fired right up, no MIL. I turned it off again and it started up again right away as normal so I drove it back down to the house. No issues with the transmission or anything.

I did look in the app and there found this info under Status.

I’m calling the dealer in the morning. Anyone else ever had this happen?

Ran the codes, it’s the fuel control module - took a crap on me. I’ll get another one tomorrow.

Thanks for the update, glad you're on a pretty quick road to recovery.

did it not have a CEL on when you ran the code reader?

No CEL, but the code reader picked it up and a P0562 low voltage condition, so i’m going to check the battery and the alternator tomorrow as well, just to be sure.

No one around where I live had one. Well, actually three dealers had a total of 4, but they were all allocated for trucks that had a failed fuel pump module. Luckily, I found one about 75 miles away, so I made the trip yesterday and picked it up. I’ve also got a spare on the way from Tasca. Pulled the battery - and put it on this morning. All of the codes cleared, battery and alternator are working fine (knock on wood).
