This is why I appreciate this forum. Talking it through helps me not assume the worse. But circumstances can lead you down the wrong path. I filled both of my rigs at the same station within a week. One gas, one diesel. Then left them for a week unused. When I got back to them, neither would...

Now that I look into it, I think it is an unrelated issue. And I would much rather pay for a wiring short than a fuel system overhaul.

I should clarify. I just have the light on.

Thanks for the heads up on all that. I have an appointment to get it fixed. I just checked the codes and found a long list. P0134 Cam position sensors P0237 Short to ground? P0652 B circuit voltage P2127Throttle pedal sensor P0193 Fuel pressure Nothing about water in the fuel....?

Ok, how bad is it? My truck sputtered and died while warming it up. It won't start and the WIF light is on. I have a full tank purchased about a week ago, but not driven since. 2007 2500 with 5.9l. I called the dealer and of course they refused to let me talk to a service rep unless I bring it...

Just to update on this, for one, I fat fingered a button when I listed the mileage on the truck. I have 160K, not 260K on the truck. My problems were headlights dimming to almost unusable, cam sensors causing a skip in the engine, glow plug light illuminating while driving, fuel mileage went to...

You are the winner on this one! It was the batteries.

Tu Turned out to be just the batteries.

Great info, thanks. I haven't started researching that issue but you just helped a ton. Thank you. I get code P0341 for the Cam sensor but that's it

Yes, the dealer has a 2 year warranty fortunately. I've read on here about the issues with these sensors. I can confirm that they go bad repeatedly. The dealer has not looked at the electrical issue yet. I wanted to get some sort of idea on that before I go in.

Yeah, I know it;s not associated with the sensors. Just mentioned it because I have an appointment to have them replaced under warranty. I replaced them just over a year ago and they are going bad again. 2 year warranty from the dealer fortunately

Original injectors I'm sure

Something just dawned on me though. My glow plug (grid heater?) light has come on at random times this summer. Just driving normally and and it lights up for awhile and then goes out.

Those sensors are going bad for the second time. They start to cause a miss in the engine and pretty soon it won't run. And sounds horrible when those sensors go bad. It's shut and tow right then.

Great info! Thank you. I'll try that.

Thanks. I'll look into the grid heater. But I just spent 2 years in San Diego and it did this down there too. And it's always 70 and sunny in San Diego :) I miss flip flops and shorts every day.

260K on the truck. I have a good meter but I'm clueless how to use it. I'm going to the shop soon to get the crank and cam shaft position sensors changed again so I can have it checked then. Was just hoping to learn something about the issue before I go pay to have it diagnosed

It dims the headlights to where they barely work. This can't be normal. Plus it's a new issue. I should have made that clearer, sorry.

I'm in the PNW so it's not cold at all, usually about 40 in the mornings. The truck is a daily driver. And it does this even when the engine is hot

My voltage has started to fluctuate wildly. The gauge drops to about 10 volts but just guessing on that. I can hear a click in the engine when the voltage drops. It cycles like that for awhile then stops. I cleaned the battery connections and the batteries tested ok recently. Is this a voltage...
