Over the weekend, the hubs and I took my truck from Mesa, AZ to Lubbock, TX to start cleaning out his shop for the move to WA. This trip was to pick up the first of two trucks, so we were pulling approximately 10k lbs home. We left from Lubbock late on Sunday, drove to Whites City, NM and napped for a couple hours (truck off) and continued on sometime around dawn. Unfortunately, that put us pulling into AZ mid-morning.
Idiot light popped up before Tucson - P0340 (Camshaft position sensor), cleared the code, popped up within five minutes. Purchased a new sensor with plans to swap out Tuesday morning. Got stuck at every red light going through Tucson, trans got up to 225 at the hottest point, engine 204. "Service trailer brakes" came up once and disappeared just as quickly. Thirty miles from home, we blew a tire on the trailer and the one behind was leaking. We sat on the side of the road, with the truck off, until a friend brought a second spare. Ambient temp was 115. Went to start the truck to finish the journey... NOTHIN. Had power, lights, Fass ran, no crank, no start, no trans communication.
Codes:
U0106 (2 occurences) - lost coms w/ glow plug module
U0101 (2 occurences) - lost coms w/ TCM
U0100 - lost coms w/ ECM/PCM "A"
First friend came out to pick up the loaded trailer for us, but we sat around a while before we unhooked the trailer to move Athena out of the way. Hubby tried to start the truck for grins and giggles, lo and behold, she fired up! Pulled her forward and left her running.
Second friend showed up with a flat deck for Athena approx. 30-45 minutes later. Truck stayed running the whole time. When my hubby drove her around to load her up, he said that she was glitchy. When we got to the house, remote start worked, but she died out about a minute later. Key turn started her and kept her running. I backed her off the trailer and parked with no noticeable glitches. Tuesday morning, remote started and died out. I started her up normally and drove the two miles to the shop with no issues.
Any input or suggestions are much appreciated! He's still gotta go back to Lubbock to pick up one more truck, and I have two trips to NW Washington and back to make in the next two weeks (one solo northbound with a uhual trailer and then back with the hubs to pick up the horses).
