Hoping someone can give me some other ideas. I been trying to hunt this for a couple weeks now...
Some extra history:
Back in 2014 I tried to help a guy out by Co-Signing for this Truck.
He lifted it (possibly incorrectly) and put a plow on it without my knowledge. 2.5 years in, he stops making payments. Eventually, I take him to court.
On October 1st, of this year, I won the suit. On October 27th, I went to reclaim it with Title and Judges order in hand. I was friggin stupid and asked for a police escort instead of hiring a Repo. (Never trusting the Police to do the right thing EVER again). The Police intimidated and forced me to allow him an unsupervised hour to strip off anything that he wants. He removed the stereo, spliced some of those wires, some after market lightning, and some other things that I am unaware of because police refused to let me near the truck. I know he took off some other things because there are random wires that aren't factory there. One of them was spliced into the original Left Tail Light Harness, which was so severely corroded, the metal broke off.
There were engine codes. Stabiltrak. Apparently, dude got into a fender bender a year and half ago on the right driver side. Damage to body was minimal, but it destroyed the Wheel Hub, causing stabiltrak to be off (Due to Hub assumbly, I fixed by replacing.. dude must have pocketed insurance money and didn't get it repaired). On top of that, it was throwing a P06DA code for Consistent High Oil Pressure, a p0420 code (I think due to Advanced timing due to high oil pressure), and p0011, Cam Shaft Position sensor Advanced.
So, I'm tearing down the engine, there is a crap ton of sludge, and I determine the reason for the Oil Pump issue is not because of the Oil Pump (Replacing it anyway), but because of a manufacturer defect in conjunction with the original owner either using Conventional Oil or not changing his oil often enough. I determined that the Oil Pressure Solenoid wire became dry-rotter, and cracked, allowing oil into the connector, displacing the connection, causing an open short, which leave the Electronically Controlled Pressure relief valve stuck Closed (High Pressure), which then put a lot of strain on the time chain and guides, causing deep groves into all guides, eventually breaking one, causing the chain to stretch a good amount.
Under neath the dash, there is only one spliced wire that I can tell of so far. I should look up the pin, but I think it's an ignition wire so it could tell the stereo he had when the engine was on.
He's stripped out the 2 dash speakers, I assume to eliminate the Door Ding sound. and he removed the Passenger Front Window Motor and replaced with Blocks. After repurchasing a new motor assembly, I determined he likely did this because the rubber seal was getting dry, likely due to dirt, and making the window get stuck rolling half way up. So, I cleaned them then used Wd-40 Silicon based spray and it now functions properly.
There has been water in this truck. I found some standing water under the trim and under the vinyl floor matt.
He HAS sprayed some of the under skirts of the truck with that rubber spray. I am trying to clean it all off.. I definitely had a ground issue at the frame in the rear for the lights/module. I have to super clean and grind that spot to shiny again to renew the connection. Had to do it for G121 too.
For the one in the rear, I determined that one after I noticed the Right tail light would blink but Park Lights would not light up. Though, the Left Tail light would light up.
