Howdy Larry,

Sounds like things might work out for you folks, sending good thoughts and hopes your way.

Perhaps the voltage surge only took out some simple things. like fuses or fusible links?  One can only hope.

You need to manually strip the extra "img" tags from the copy/paste.
 

I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again.

It sure would be nice if this garbage forum software allowed for attaching photos.  The button below doesn't work.  The link provided in Jack's (2018) pinned post doesn't work.  Direct HTML coding an image link doesn't work.  Garbage.

 

Just click the links above to see them, I guess.

News on the truck:

We've been playing the waiting game on a new ECU.  I spoke to the dealer working on the truck and they expect the new ECU either tomorrow (8-19) or Monday (8-22).  Once that is installed they will be able to run the truck properly and begin doing further system tests to see what else needs attention.

I'm cautiously optimistic she will live again...

The ECU is installed.  Proper communication with the truck's systems is possible now.

They have order a couple of other modules that should be there in the next day or two.  Progress is happening.

 

Side note, my pickup is finally home from having a busted transfer case.

Good news.  Hope to see ya in October?

Unfortunately, for numerous reasons, the truck being only one, we will not be able to make it to the National.

I hope we can be back fully operational by the ECR, if that happens, in the spring.

Friday update (8/26/22).

I don't have the truck back yet.  I was told it will run and drive around the dealer under it's own power now.

They have replaced several modules from the ECU on down.  Right now they have four (4) more modules on order, TCU (I was expecting that one), the dash display module, body control module and the brake control module.

The TCU is "back-ordered" and the dealer is dealing directly with Volvo/Mack on when it will arrive.

They tell me the last one they had in the shop that was struck by lighting, they had to replace every computer in the vehicle.

Optimism is still there, just reality-tempered a bit.

Have they by chance given you a cost on what they replaced so far????

No.  So far it will cost me a $100 deductible...

9-02-22 Update:

Here's the email right from the dealer working on my truck...

well, we are finding more issues. We have couple of more modules on order such as dash cluster and a trans ecu along with nox sensors. Unfortunately they are a few parts that are on back order again. We have a estimate ship date of 9-30-22. It is very possible they will come before that time, but this is the time they are giving us. We are keeping our fingers crossed that they will arrive before the 30th.

This whole 'affair' is similar to our daughters' . 

She bought a 2022 Jeep , hit a deer in June . It's still in the shop . One thing after another . Depressing . 

Goes around , comes around .
