Well, looks like I've encountered the dreaded "no bus" issue. Here's the scoop. Starting up the truck, no problem. Driving for a bit, no problem. However, about half way into town the dinger starts going off with either the air bag or ABS light flashing randomly. All the while, the speedometer keeps jumping from speed to 0. Then finally, the speedo zeroes, the tach zeroes, ABS, air bag, low fuel and check engine lights come on, then all the other gauges zero. And of course, the odometer reads "no bus."
Now here's the thing. If I shut the engine and power off, then restart it again, everything returns to normal. At least for a little while, then it does it again.
I've so far tried disabling the ABS but that had no effect. All 3 connectors to the ECU seem tight and all grounds under the hood are in place.
Anyone know a good place to go to next? From what I've read, a short in virtually any electronic on the truck can potentially cause this. FML.
