Why would it have that as codes?

Apparently the entire right bank of fuel injectors glitched out and caused the stall. :d ontknow: It's very weird.

[quote=""Jeff V.""]Airbags and seatbelts are on order. Still looking for a solution for the control module. I had the wrong part number initially. I was looking at the one for the H3T. The correct part fits 08 and 09 H3. That doesn't open up my options that much, but every little bit helps. It really makes me wonder why they changed everything in 2010 just to build a handful and then discontinue the brand entirely.

Priced out a set of KO2s, just to see what it would take to get into a more civilized tire. $1700 for a set of five. 315-75/R16. After rebate at Tire Rack. Ouch.

Remember how we said it stalled right before the airbag incident? The ECM had history codes for all four injector control circuits on the right bank of the engine. Very interesting.

I'm still trying to get my bootleg GM software working again so I can check the codes in the airbag and body modules.[/quote]

Interesting about the codes for the injectors.

You can't just send the module off to have it reset? I thought that was a thing that can be done for less then $100?

Also, look at General Grabbers A/TX tires as well. A little bit cheaper than BFG's and people seem to like them better than the BFGs most of the time.

I have grabbers on my avalanche. Not impressed.

I was reading about other things causing a stall, anything from low fuel to torque converter failing. It was getting late last night when I stopped reading. But the injector failure is interesting.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

We had 3/4 of a tank of fuel. It wasn't that. That wouldn't have set a code anyway.

As far as getting the module reset, that's my last resort. I kind of want to see if I can do it myself. But the module is potted, which basically means the circuit board is encased in a solid block of hard gel. I can hack away at it, but then I'd have to figure out how to seal it back up again. I'm also not sure if I'd trust some $40 next-day-return service to do this properly on so many different makes and models of airbag computer.

Looking at those ruts it doesn't match how violent your truck should have reacted. Yea, its challenging course, but to blow airbags seems overly sensitive on your trucks part.

I know you were contemplating selling. Might be a good time to get into something you like better, or that is more trustworthy off-road.

Just for note as that last resort this is who Goonzquad uses for seatbelt repair and SRS module resets

I think it was the angle of the drop and how quickly it happened that triggered the rollover event. We had been in worse ruts immediately prior and had no problems.

If we sell it, I'm getting something that's fun and/or efficient on road. Because that's where I spend all of my time.

I had seen Safety Restore in my searches. I'll probably just go with them. It's looking like editing the module myself will turn into a long and drawn out hassle.

You both have things that are fun on road. I really think you need something that you can tow with or haul your car with, or just be more rugged. I think the H3 is a good choice. You’ve gone through most of it now…if you do find yourself in the snow or off road you have a way better idea of what to do.

Just my .02.

Or Ranger Raptor when it comes out.

Either way, Raptor is the answer.

I was thinking the same thing. I know things can seem less bad on camera, but yeah surprised they went off..

That looks like a pretty quick up->down force. Makes a little more sense now.
