    Having truck problems on the road while towing is always an adventure. It's a good thing Ang was there to "supervise" the diagnostics data gathering 🤣 My mother used to always provide my dad "advise" while he was doing projects around the house, he couldn't stand it. He called Mom the Sidewalk Superintendent. Great channel, great content.

      We aren’t running in to anything (so far) that will lead us to believe that we are having any lifter systems. Time will tell, but so far, so good! I’m hoping it was just needing to relearn itself.

    Hello guys, concerning your truck, I chased a similar problem with the exact symptoms of your truck on my granddaughter’s car, after changing wires, coil packs and plugs twice, the problem was improper plug gap while the plugs should have been pre-gaped turns out both sets I put in were incorrect. I re-gaped them and the problem was solved. Lesson learned, always check your gaps before installing new plugs. Hope this helps, enjoy your travels.

      At least with a gas engine, you can often fix bad gas. Diesel..not so much.

    One thing it might be is a lot of those programs won’t completely clear all the codes that get stored in History codes. Only thing I could completely clear the codes was the Ford program. Which makes you bite the bullet and get a Ford dealer to clear them unless there is a shop that has Fords program on a laptop
