Had to jump start the truck Sunday morning.  Now I have this.  How in the hell do I clear it? Have an appointment with the dealer for Wednesday.  Hopefully it's something I can do myself for free.

Is it possible that the GPS needs to recalibrate the compass information? Check the manual for how to do that as it typically involves driving in circles / figure 8 a number of times if that's what it is.

I thought the same thing but the compass on the DIC is correct.

Unhook the battery + and negative - cables and leave it unhooked for about 5-10 minutes or longer to drain the system and hook it back up and try it, it sensed a voltage spike when jump starting.

Replacing batteries before they die is a good idea.

That's helpful in figuring out the issue.  For your information, the battery was 1 week old!  So piss off.

Tried that.  Didn't help unfortunately.

This is from the work order from the dealer.

Checked for radio software and found the radio not calibrated.  Tech programmed and calibrated the radio to the vehicle. Tested operation.  All ok at this time.
Programming Code: 80YN199825780

They could not explain why the radio lost it's calibration.  Claim they have never seen that before but they always claim that.

No idea why a 1 week old battery would need a jump.  They said it was low but passed all the tests.  They put it on a charger for a couple of hours.
I had the battery installed at Firestone as a preventative measure.  It was 4-5 years old and we were expecting temps of -5F.  Maybe they didn't charge it at all?  No idea.  We'll see how long she holds.  I'm concerned there is a parasitic power draw somewhere.

No need to be a  jerk, I made a suggestion. Original post said nothing about battery being replaced. 

Another suggestion, I always put a full charge on new batteries with my charger.

You made a suggestion based on an assumption.  An incorrect assumption at that.  Your suggestion did absolutely nothing to address the question that was posted.  It was simply a smart ass comment.

As for fully charging a new battery... if I had been the one to install the battery I would do this.  I would not expect to have to charge a new battery installed by a shop.

I've bought new batteries that are bad.

I haven't but 100% agree that it happens.  Sometimes ****** just breaks.

I use to work at an auto parts store.  We carried Exide batteries.  We always swapped out unsold batteries that were 6 months old.  Might want to look at the manufacture date on the battery.  It's often times just a simple circle sticker with a month and year on it, such as 12/23 for December 2023.  If it was 6 months or older at the time it was installed that could possibly explain why you experienced the issue you did.

 

The only way it was a 1 week old battery is if it had been manufactured 1 week before it was installed in your truck, but you wouldn't be able to know that info.  Best you be able to figure is in months.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
