Truck Problem and Code
I have had a Quad XZT on my truck for 12k miles now. I noticed yesterday going home the truck just didn't feel right. The idle seemed rough. This morning it fired up fine and when I went to get on the highway I had NO power. It took forever to get to 65 mph and then it would not pulll a hill without shifting down. I stopped to fill up and pulled the box and installed the dummy plug. When I left the station I was back to full power all the way to work and the rough idle was gone. I did check for codes before I came in and had a P0514. Any ideas or clues? I will call Quad on it later today. Thanks

I have got the quad xzt on my truck also,got the 0514 code a couple of days ago. The truck seems to run fine though, but some idle surge when cold,let us know what quad says.

514
The 514 code is a battery temp malfunction code (or something on the lines of that) I got that too. A lot of trucks are getting this code and I am starting to believe that it has something to do with the trucks running odd.

I just put the box back on the truck and will see what it does tomorrow morning. If it still runs bad I will call Quad Monday and see what they say. I really don't think the code has anything to do with what happened but who knows.

I remember recently reading a post/thread where DC admits that there is a problem witht he Battrey sensor but that so far they did not have a solution. Do a search for the code and see what you can find.

Well the truck ran fine all the way to work this morning with the box back on the truck. I guess I will have to keep my eye on it for a while and see if it happens again.
