Sorry to hear of your continuing challenges with this truck, but I have to ask......lifted? Oversized tires?
Have you tried disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes?

truck has ZERO mods to it besides my summer wheels being the optional size 20" 275/55/20 VS the 18" oem wheels that came on the truck that i run in the winter. overall tire diameter is the same on both though

dont want to disconnect battery, might lose codes, or bring my dead truck issues back again....

this truck has been disappointing to say the least in about every way possible. Honestly the only good thing i can say about it is that it drives nice, thats it... but any new 1/2 ton truck drives nice today anyway so i guess its not saying much...

I had that show up a while back, made an appointment, they reprogrammed the ABS module or something (a TSB on it). Had it show up once since then but haven't bothered going back. I guess they first try reprogramming to make it less finicky and if it keeps it up they replace a wheel speed sensor or something.

Steering angle sensor gone bad. I had same service light and no turn signals.

Common issue but requires the whole rack to be replaced. If you look at the off-road display your steering angle will be stuck or missing. I was going down the road at 45mph and the display said my wheels were fully turned. Good luck.

By rack are you meaning the entire electric power steering rack system?

Correct. There is a large thread on this but can't get my phone to create a link to it.

So, only two problems with your truck so far, right?....and it hasn't been dead even once since last year?
Sounds like you got a good one.

I hope your being sarcastic????

list of issues so far with this truck:

Being dead 9 times

4 batteries in it so far

Battery minder system issues

Tranny shifting issues, even after the reflash it still does it occasionally

Wipers wont turn off (replaced entire multi function switch to fix it)

Rear end pop/snap/ creak, which they fixed last year and is now back again

Rear pinion seal leak

Horrendous fuel mileage

Brake squealing which they said is normal, but I took it all apart cleaned and lubed myself in order to fix it

Rear window defroster light no longer works, and i believe the defroster itself is not working either

Water in the 3rd brake light

Service advance trac issue

turn signals not working

So out of this entire list the only ones that have been resolved is the wiper issue, the rear pinion leak, and the brake noise which i had to do myself....

The truck has not been dead in 6 months, but that doesnt mean much as it went 8 months at one point last year so I'm not holding my breath that the issue wont resurface.
