Truck had the buss flash for a while now.. Yesterday it stopped bussing, but starts and runs okay.

Anyone ever seen this happen before?

Has it been to the dealership recently? Maybe they reflashed it without your knowledge?

Mine was there until they performed the inductive heating flash! Are you running a tuner?

Have to agree, it was most likely reflashed without your knowlege.

Yes it was at the dealer to get a new EGR valve. I would have sworn that the buss was there after I got the truck back. It all started one afternoon as I reach in and turned key on to start glow plug. I the popped hood to check oil. There was this popping sound as I remember it, kinda like elect switches kicking on and off. I tried to start truck and all it would do is turn over. Then it fired off and smoke was ever where. I have since driven a hundred or so miles with no bad results, other than no buss at shut down. Again I swear the buss was there when I got it back from dealer.
