I'll check the battery and alternator . They're both fairly new. But with my luck they're both probably going bad

I only get a sweep on the first startup after having the battery disconnected. Or after I put in a ECU tune. I did get it more often with my old alternator.

I found a loose terminal. I can't find my multi meter to check the voltage right now. But I tightened it up and it hasn't done it yet today. But I noticed also my odometer some times doesn't display. Really starting to regret buying a truck this new

There's a great write-up on the fix for this HERE. My '99's odo had a mind of it's own. My solution was to buy an '03! (The blown motor in the '99 was just another small factor.)

I'll just throw this out there as a top AGM battery choice:

Interstate MT7-65

Full disclosure, I work for Interstate, and a municipality who is a customer started putting these in cruisers and ambulances, and has been ecstatic with their performance.

More expensive and shorter warranty than SuperStart AGM battery. Any reason why?

The Interstate has a 48-month replacement warranty. The O'Reilly offering is only 36, isn't it?

I think if I ever get a weekend off I'll pull it and fix that and my over head display.

I appreciate the help guys. Fairy new to the electronic trucks
