Bought the above truck used with 19,000 miles on it. Came with a suspension lift and big tires and was set up for overloading with a tent on top and (rather nice) KC light bar slash cab rack.
After we ge it home, dash lights and engine lights coming on. Stupid shit like throwing bad DEF sensor (dodge calls it reductant level) codes when the gauge shows full. Took it into Dodge and they uploaded new software and everything went away. Few days later the rear air suspension light comes on. Goes off and on at random times. If it goes off while driving, it wipes out the electronic speedo screen and loses the settings icon and miles to go on the tank (for lack of its real name) and just displays the speed. Been in the shop multiple times as I suspected a bad BCM which one of the original codes was "no comms with BCM". Dodge can find nothing wrong electronically. Yesterday, I get in it, and pretty much every warning displayed, air bag, brakes, trailer control, etc..., started going off while driving. This went on for a bit and then everything cleared aside from the normal air bag suspension warning light. This has happened several times now and sometimes the door locks unlock and lock while driving.
I have read that it may be a loose ground issue and believable due to a lift had been installed but I can find nothing on the ground wire locations and I think dodge would have picked that up on their computer. But maybe not if it had a good ground at the dealership. I feel like sooner or later something is going to happen and cause the truck to either die or not run because of all the frigging warnings and codes being thrown.
How the hell do I approach this and getting it fixed without going broke taking it into the dealership constantly?
