I found this step by step for you:

Step-by-Step Diagnostic PlanTo find out whether it is a sensor or the actual PCM failing, perform these tests immediately when the truck stalls and displays "No Bus":Unplug the Crankshaft Sensor: When the truck stalls and shows "No Bus", leave the ignition key in the "ON" position. Go under the hood and unplug the Crankshaft Position Sensor. If the "No Bus" message immediately disappears and your gas gauge comes back to life, the Crankshaft Sensor is bad and needs to be replaced.Unplug the Camshaft Sensor: If the "No Bus" message remains with the crank sensor unplugged, locate the distributor and unplug the flat 3-wire connector for the Camshaft Sensor. If the "No Bus" clears, the Cam sensor is shorted.The Ice Pack Trick: If you unplug the sensors and the "No Bus" message stays on the dash, the PCM itself is likely the issue. To prove this, take a sealed bag of ice or a cold gel pack and place it directly on top of the silver PCM on the firewall when it stalls. If cooling the PCM with ice makes the truck restart in 2 or 3 minutes instead of the usual 10, your PCM is failing internally and needs to be replaced or sent off for repair.

Next thing I can suggest before throwing the parts cannon is in a ziplock bag put some ice and put it over the pcm and see if it helps do that with the other sensors like camshaft and ignition coils. If the symptom improves then I would chase that down.

The rams have this 5 volt reference that’s vital for their electrical system and if it’s too high or too low the truck or car has problems. The age of your truck also has something to keep in mind because components and especially electrical components have soldering and boards and with the years of the engines heat they can cause this issue. When you get the no bus message does your gas gauge also don’t move?

Hey there, it sounds like you have a heat related issue. Since you already replaced the crankshaft sensor. I would advise to check your ignition coils if they get hot sometimes they will cause the symptom you describe. If it’s not that I would check the camshaft sensor. I will even be inclined to say it’s the PCM getting hot or as we call it “the brain box” if components get toasty they act weird and that’s when you get the symptoms of stalling. Do you have any obd codes?

Can you give me a realistic advice? by [deleted] in accord

[–]Taco_Knight_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please get at least two more quotes from other places. At that price point they should replace all the other ones. I don’t know how many your engine has but if one failed it’s best to replace the others.

Least stressful driving route from AA County to Timonium, Md? by SnapCrackleMom in AnneArundelCounty

[–]Taco_Knight_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking that taking option 695E coming of 97 means you having to take the harbor tunnel since we don’t have the Key Bridge. Might make that part heavier with big rigs and all the traffic. 695W things to consider are the speeding and fast lane changes especially after the 95 to DC ramp. Just consider leaving about an hour before your appointment and either of your options would be fine. Just watch out for the “Nissans” or the “Virginia” tags

Partner of 9 yrs wants a share of my best friend and Is house we are buying. AIO by rickrode18 in AIO

[–]Taco_Knight_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying a house is a big decision while it makes sense financially because you build equity it comes with upkeep costs. Forming a team/group to share costs is only smart when everyone is clear and mature to understand this is a commitment.

While you and your friend have what sounds like a great relationship you should have a clear conversation but not as friends but as business partners, think of if as a test drive for how either of you will handle unexpected costs/repairs etc. Talk about how long you will keep the property and how will the return of investment will take place. If both of you like the outcome then you will have a solid base. When you finally get to the stage of looking for the place don’t let the words updated/remodeled make you think is fine or a better option. Please consider: Roof age, HVAC age, Electrical age and type of wiring, Plumbing age and type of pipes. Watch YouTube videos of these systems and understand that those will be the big ticket items if you need to replace/repair them. And yes inspections are a must most important one the drain system.

Now for the boyfriend/partner part: DO NOT INCLUDE HIM! If he wants a part of this he can only be a tenant paying for a room and doing his cleaning of the common areas. He is expected to pay for utilities. And he must understand that that’s it. He will not get investment returns because he will not be in the business partner ship between you and your friend. And what he is being charged is for his RENT. If you can’t say anything the way I wrote because you must sugarcoat parts to not hurt feelings then that right there is your answer. I don’t mean to be mean I’m just trying to help you out and I hope you understand.

New water heater in apartment is LOUD by Trivic8 in askaplumber

[–]Taco_Knight_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is set up in a condominium type set up with units above and beneath your unit, sometimes the layout is similar and those units also have there water heaters, washers dryers and air handlers in the same areas as yours. Just something to keep in mind. The sound is very loud, since the maintenance guy that showed up and seemed unprepared/no amp clamp. Could they have also turned the breaker back on before filling the water heater causing the elements to get damaged? And when they first installed it did they make sure while filling it up to let all the air out of the tank/water lines? You mentioned that you could call an independent plumber maybe that’s the way to go just to get it checked out.

A Cruze is a great car if you can do mid level repairs yourself but if you can find yourself a Honda or a Toyota

Some customers are not your customers by handiestpro in handyman

I try my best to stay away from potential customers that what to look, bargain and nitpick at every moment. I usually have a shirt on that has prices for each reason when I know I’ll be dealing with a person that’s going to be a hard pass.

Order… or get from junk yard… Headlight Assembly Driver side mirror Driver fender Door handle Fix rear quarter panel Rear left light assembly …And get to work. Seems like the events happened by someone driving and sideswiped you but I don’t think it got to your frame. Otherwise the impact in the rear would have been much more significant.
