rickeieio Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Perhaps the voltage surge only took out some simple things. like fuses or fusible links? One can only hope.

Larry Burkett Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Any new news on your truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8r3400 Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 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...

Av8r3400 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 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.

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.

Av8r3400 Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 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.

Av8r3400 Posted September 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 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.

Larry Burkett Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) It is too bad to hear they are finding more problems, but they are finding them while it is in the shop, so it is getting better.
