Ok gentlemen,
SO sorry for the delay, my apologies as this is going on a couple of weeks now. BUT, once this was verified that this WAS a result of bad programming, I was also made aware of that cylinder #8 failed leak down test and had to be replaced.. ON TOP OF THAT, i kept telling the dealership there is something wrong with the radio and that way it handles the USB Music and Playlist.. Basically, when playing from a Playlist (mind you this is a NON HD-Radio but still the 8" screen), and you stop the truck, leave vehicle, let vehicle fully shut down, re-enter vehicle and start it up. The music will not play and the playlist filename is found but it doesn't show any of the songs in the list. I thought "OH H#LL NO!! NOT AGAIN WITH ALL THE ISSUES!!!". SO, I verified this was a true programming/radio issue as I have since traded that double cab in for a crew cab with more upgraded options on it that I wanted from the beginning.. In this new gray (steel color) truck, the playlist plays just fine even after turning off and back on the truck. Acts like you would expect it to. To start playing where it left off and has NO issued with re-loading or keeping the playlist loaded.
SO YES!!!, I traded that truck in for a new(er) one due to all the issues encountered above. Although, I didn't realize it but it was another Loaner Special, but I don't care as long as the truck runs like it is supposed to. ;). Good luck to all who having to keep their trucks and I truly mean that. This truck will be my last and I'll deal with any issues that arise from here on out unless someone else does something stupid like total my truck ;)..
