Vehicles are so “smart” now, they’ve gone full circle to being stupid. Had a check engine warning go off and the truck went into low power (limp mode) last year about 40mins into trip to Fernie with the trailer. Limped back home, unhooked, drove to the shop and they checked the code. Bad coolant sensor, 5 days for a new one (can’t replace the sensor, it’s integrated with the tank) and it will stay in limp mode till it’s replaced. Weekend over? While at the shop I googled it and all I had to do is twist the level gauge 1/4 turn to drop it out of position and everything goes back to normal. Asked the technician what the risks are and they said nothing, but I wouldn’t know if my coolant is low…. unless I check it from time to time. You mean pop the hood and look at that big tank with a min/max line? Fk me. 2 second fix and trip was back on.
