Found coolant level is slightly low topped off with water and pressure tested to 15 psi. Noticed cooling hoses appear original. Checked engine oil and is full and no evidence of coolant at this time. Lifted vehicle and noticed red fluid on the sub frame, inspected further and found that the power steering pump is leaking. Also noticed a couple drops of orange fluid on the engine oil pan, followed the trace marks to the weep hole for the water pump. Water pump is beginning to leak. Water pump is driven by the timing chain. Due to the mileage the engine will need to be replaced with power steering pump and install kit.

We removed the fuel filter and found it full of DEF fluid. We flushed out the fuel rail, flushed out the fuel lines and flushed out the dosing injector. We then removed the fuel tank ,and primary fuel filter, and water seperator. We siphoned out the contaminated fuel, removed the fuel pump and cleaned out the fuel tank. We then re installed the fuel tank and put 20 gal. of fresh fuel and primed the fuel system. We started the truck and brought it up to opperating temp and found it runs according to spec. We then test drove the vehicle and drained the fuel/water seperator and found no more contamination in the fuel system.

We scanned for codes and found P193C-00 steering angle signal, U0121-00 Lost communication with anti-lock brake system (ABS) Control Module A. We found a technical service bulletin in relation to both codes showing a recall for this problem. We recommend taking the vehicle to the dealer to preform the recall. We also found code P0456-00 Evap system leak detected. We smoke tested the vehicle and found no leaks. We then checked the purge valve for operation and found that when commanded 0% with the scan tool the valve continues to pull the tank into a vacuum. These tests confirm that the purge valve is faulty. We recommend replacing the purge valve.

P0345 Camshaft position sensor (A) circuit. Bank 2 P0349 Camshaft position sensor (A) circuit intermittent. Bank 2 Swapped Bank 1 and Bank 2 camshaft position sensors and cleared codes. Let truck run and both codes came back quickly. Unplugged sensor and traced wires back to the pcm and tested them, found they are okay. Found a TSB that states the alternator can have excessive ripple that can cause these codes to appear, disconnected the alternator and cleared codes and started, again codes came back. Tried a new cam positioning sensor with a new connector and same result. We have come to the conclusion the truck will need a PCM. After our extensive search through the dealer network we have found that this part is obsolete………………..
