Situation 1: pulling my ~3k lb trailer up a pretty steep grade in AZ 96 heat on i17 just north of Phoenix, oil and coolant temps were about 238 oil 226 coolant. Speed was 60. CEL, eltric throttle control light, stability control light. No power. Cruise at 40ish rest of the grade. Pull over at the top let it idle a ahwile. Shut off and restart. Only my CEL remains. It stayed on the rest of the camp trip but it drove fine. CEL turns off after a few hours of driving and few cycles.
Situation 2: pulling the same ~3k trailer up a grade in northern NM with outside temp about 90. Coolant was about 218 and oil about 228. This time I had tazer "cooldown mode" active. CEL, eltric throttle control light, stability control light. No power. Cruise at 40ish rest of the grade. Pull over at the top let it idle a ahwile. Shut off and restart. Only my CEL remains. It stayed on the rest of the camp trip but it drove fine. CEL turns off after a few hours of driving and few cycles.
Both situations I couldn't get to a parts store to read codes.
Recent camp trip, during situation 2, doing FR exploring, CEL Came on and stayed on for a few days. Again no chance to get codes read before CEL went off. But also, I would randomly get ABS, BRAKE, stability control lights on and setiles 4wd system temporarily unavailable. After I packed camp and got on the highway, all lights went away, but I did go into a "limp mode" type of state during a small incline when getting on the highway from a gas station... Darn thing had no power and I couldn't get any speed... Stuck at 55mph until I got to the top then she got all power back but there were no idiot lights and water was 208 and oil was at 215
Anyone have any idea on what's going on? Truck has been great at this point with 65k miles
Mods: 35x11.5r17, winch, steel bumpers, roll up bed cover, chase rack, tazer
TIA
