I hear ya there.

Definitely post up the technical data so we can sort through it..... Also if you have an extended warranty there should be no "working with you on things" they should be covering everything.... If there is a problem then you should contact Dodge's Warranty Hotline ASAP and start a service claim, they will straighten it all out for you most of the time, but it takes a little fighting...

 

Thats a cheap computer lol. It should all work out for ya, let us know.

 

You mean you don't have wings and a 5-bladed prop?

While looking around in my truck (performing the TMR mod, actually) I noticed that the main computer bar code was covered by a newer, smaller barcode that said "Authorized Software Update" or something to that effect, so ya--maybe it's just what you need.

Here's hoping!

 

All the manufactors have re-flashes that come out to update PCM's. I have a friend he bought a chevy. A week later their was a re-flash for how the a/c compressor engaged. Some customers were complaining it engaged to hard. The shop I worked at in Spokane, we did them all the time. It is very possiable re-flash will fix some, maybe all your issues.

 

Ok, boys, here it is. They replaced the multi-function switch per the recall for the malfunctioning turn signals.

The rest says: "Computer scope check - Check and advise customer states the engine will die while driving and not restart. Found multiple DTFCs V0168 lost communication with security module P1521. Multiple updates/flashes for different concerns in several modules. Updated PCM, TIPM, CCN, and radio with latest software. Test drove vehicle. Still unable to duplicate customer concerns."

This cost me $157.48, so the extended warranty deductible wasn't incurred.

Does that description help anyone???? Do you think it will 'solve' the problems?

And how do you post pics? It says I'm not authorized

 

Software updates could certainly cure a stall condition but it depends on what the updates were and what symptoms they solve. I am posting below a TSB (technical service bulletin) for the P1521 diagnostic code. It is possible that the flash described in the TSB will cure the problem of code P1521 from coming up again. That code relates to improper engine oil viscosity, which would effect your MDS. When they updated your computer systems it should have loaded the latest software to any of the multiple computer modules on your vehicle. As far as if it will cure the stall issue, only time will tell for certain. Please keep us updated.

Well let's see if what they did fixes her problem.... again I can't stress this enough, RECORD YOURSELF DRIVING WITH A CAMERA! So that when it does happen you can go back to it and prove it, as well as see if there is anything "you" might be doing to create it.

We forgot to ask... Is your truck a manual or automatic transmission?

 

You have to have 30 post to post a pic. stupid rule

 

It's an automatic. And thank you, willdikem66 - I was wondering why it wouldn't load

 

If you host them on Google+ or on a webserver, all you have to do is link them and post as many pics as you want. PM me your pic and I'll link for you if you like...
