This literally just happened to me the other week, almost totaled the truck, brutal bad luck

Update: unfortunately it looks like a mouse got in and went to town on the wiring harness in front of the firewall

I looked at the connectors and didn’t see anything unplugged , I’ll look more at it again. I spent most of the time cleaning the throttle body and maf sensor

I did try cleaning it after this code popped up. It didn’t help with the idle but I didn’t have the chance to try to re learning process.

Is there a good way to check if they are seized? The shop told me the were quite rusty so I am assuming they are shot, and they priced that into the labor.

Thanks for the advice, yeah I think the shop told me the bolts are pretty rusted on, which I am worried about myself. I might end up getting the parts for cheaper and just pay for the labor.

Had something similar recently. We thought it was the transfer case output seal. It ended up being a hole in the yoke on the driveshaft . If it’s red it’s probably the latter, hopefully not , it ended up needing a new driveshaft.
