Dead Super Duty

[Bill_D]

I was driving my truck today, went to pass a car that was doing 45 and as soon as it downshifted and started forward I lost power. The dash lit up with all kinds of warnings. The first one I saw was “Service Advancetrak” followed by everything in the vehicle being not available. I also noticed that I not longer had indication of what gear I was in.
I pulled over to the side of the road to see if power cycling did any good... nope. It’s dead in the water now. Won’t even try to start.

Thanks @BLACKWATER! That looks exactly like what I’m seeing. Only a damn engineer would stick a frequently used item like a fuse box way back there...

 

[BLACKWATER]

Hope everything works out. Let us know what happens.....

No signs of water damage that I can see, but it also sits right over the wheel well. So who knows if any came in the bottom. Also, there’s no gasket around the lid.

Do you have front wheel well liners?

Do you have front wheel well liners?

No I don’t.

Apparently these things are very delicate. It even states right on it “scrap if dropped”. Perhaps it got Jared or bumped? It should be under warranty

Well, off she goes. Dirty, broken and 4,400 miles young.

 

[BLACKWATER]

What a drag man. good luck and let me know what they find. Take it easy.

 

[Rich Pune]

That sucks. Sorry man.

 

[Grabber]

That sucks, hope they can get you up a running quickly.

 

[ICT Tremor]

I bet it’s something really simple. Still sucks and the downtime is unacceptable.

 

[Renegade06]

Hoping its an easy quick fix, regardless, I know it sucks, 4400 miles shouldnt be having down time.

Hope you get it back soon!!! I was concerned about water intrusion in electronics with 6.7. I opted for the wheel well liners.
In midwest we run vehicles through car wash a lot in winter with powerful undercarriage blasters.

I’ll be sure to update this thread as the saga unfolds. I splashed around a lot last week through the puddles left from the 12” of rain we got. But nothing like what I’ve seen from some owners.

 

[ETX Tremor]

Bummer man... hope it’s a quick fix! Did you have the wheel well liners?

 

[Marley]

An offroad truck sensitive to splashing?
I've not heard this one yet.
Hope you can keep your cool and get this resolved promptly.

@Bill_D hope its a minor fix and your back on the road quickly. Let us know what you learn. Hang tough Brother and cooler heads always prevail. ????
