Long story. I've posted the problem on here before. Gauges go to zero, odometer flashes "no bus", speedometer goes to zero, overhead reads "CCD", CEL comes on. When it first started this would happen then go away. Sometimes so fast you wouldn't really see it but you'd feel the truck stumble a bit..... Now you drive it about a quarter of a mile and it happens and the truck won't do over 30 mph, goes into a limp mode. I've checked and cleaned all the grounds. cleaned the connections and dieletric grease on the terminals, everywhere. Finally took it in 3 weeks ago and he's still stumped. He thinks he has it narrowee down to either the PCM, ECM, or the cluster. Any ideas?

Nah, the CKP won't do all the things he's describing. It will make the truck stumble and idle funny, but it will not take out the cluster.

Sounds like your guy is looking in the right direction now.... ECM, PCM, Cluster itself..... although I don't think a bad cluster would limp the truck, you would just loose the gauges.

When my 03 died the gauges did the same thing. Before it died the gages stayed at zero for about 5min Then wouldnt start. I went through the whole wiring harness found a broken wire soldered it together then she ran fine what is the voltage to the fuel pump is there enough?
