Did you get this resolved? working now?  I have mine installed, only thing left to do is connect these wires...  I was told it is the farthest back plug and is pin 29 for the grey plug.

And 2 wires to the BCMs

 

Interesting.  When I installed my AMP steps only needed the OBD port and power from the battery.

 

I'll be interested to hear if you notice any other effects.  I believe, since installing mine with the OBD plugged in, my start/stop function has been disabled.   Haven't unplugged them to check though.

That would be awesome, but the current ones have two wires that have to be tapped into a couple plugs.  It is a royal PITA if you don't have perfect eyesight and flexible to get to the plugs in the drivers foot well.

I had the wire to the light green plug the black connector I didn't need because I have a regular cab and the black plug would of been for the rear doors.  I do love them and they do not make noise like some people said on a previous thread.

I'll be interested hear if you notice any changes in how your auto start/stop behaves.

Yea, I was coming back here to ask about the noise...  Mine seem to clunk pretty loudly when retracting, esp the drivers side.

ok, I looked at mine again and fixed most of the klunk...  I didn't read the manual close enough and the rear mechanism is supposed to be one hole forward of the rear holes...  I just put them in where the stock running boards were...  I guess I should RTFM.  😔

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
