So I changed to the recommended one by FTE drove over a nice sized bump in the road and the truck did the same think. When I got home I noticed I do have a bent terminal on the passenger side. Also I am getting a p0611 which is the ficm but the colts are at a stead 54 (upgraded ficm) Also on my older sct it always through that code and was told by the previous owner it was because the ficm is upgraded

Make sure you clean all the connection points and put some de-ox on them.

I'd say so. If you didn't tug on the cables, it might just be the battery terminal connections.

Tugged a little but not enough to do any harm I don't think

Another update. Drive it home tonight. Before start up battery was at 11-12 during start up dropped to high tens on the way home it was upper 13. Ran over bumps it didn't die so that is a plus. I am running a 54 volt ficm and that showed 54 during start up my concern is that I'm still throwing a p0611 code. Like I said before on the old live wire it was always there but po said it was the upgraded ficm causing then when I bought the new one it went away as did the egr delete codes. But now it is throwing the ficm. Hopefully I didn't try something in there
