Its still registering a amount, i.e 67% which suggests there is continuity and power to the sender/ECU, unless this is a default/dead error reading?! I’m still leaning towards an ECU/Software fault.... A quicker and easier and cheaper check would be to swap out or try a known good/new ECU, code it in to your truck and see what happens! As i’ve said before though..... all “technicians” these days just go off what the laptop says, and the laptop gets its info from the ECU which in turn being “the brain” the source will never show/blame itself......

*THE ITALIAN WEDDING TEST* I was a very happy man. My wonderful Italian girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me....It was her beautiful younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight mini skirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate. Because she never did it when she was near anyone else. One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said, 'I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me.' I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo... And behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping! With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law put down his shotgun and hugged me and said, 'We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.' And the moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car !

My bet is a “software” issue! Somethings not talking correctly somewhere, and a big problem is when diagnosing an issue, you plug on and talk/get the information via the ecu, in this case the diag will talk direct to the SCR control unit. One thing to remember though is that the ecu is the brain and the diag will never blame the brain for any faults or ever see the ecu to be at fault. Ecu’s and the information given back from them to the diag machine can sometimes send you down the garden path. First thing i’d be doing is planting some current/active faults within the SCR field on purpose just to make sure it was talking correctly. And never discount the obvious either, by that i mean that for any electrical activation to happen there is always a basic mechanical behind it that makes/allows it to happen.

Some will probably have seen, but what are your thoughts? Coronavirus: Chilling 40-year-old book predicted 'Wuhan biological weapon' outbreak | Weird | News | Express.co.uk WWW.EXPRESS.CO.UK CORONAVIRUS may have been predicted more than 40 years ago in a science-fiction book referring to a "new biological weapon" created by a Chinese scientist to "wipe out a city or country".

Buy something with a five year + warranty Mark then chop it in again if you have experienced any horrors in that period. If not then run it a bit longer. Trouble is also, especially on google or a forum, when a problem is highlighted like it is here regards Rangers and adblue problems, you mainly only hear the horror stories regards that particular situation involving a select few vehicles of those speaking out. If you were to strike a page up about all the good points/reviews on a Ford Ranger then the good would probably outweigh the bad. I’m looking at a Toyota Proace Verso at the min, based on the Peugeot/Citroen platform running their 2.0 hdi engine which gets very mixed reviews. I’m leaning towards Toyota’s version because it has 5 yrs warranty where as Peugeot/Citroen is only 3 yrs. My theory being that if it behaves well for me in the first 5 yrs then it’ll be good for a long time after, if its a pig then it’ll go at the end of the 5 yrs and i’ll have to seek an alternative.

TOOLS EXPLAINED DRILL PRESS : A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL : Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh*t' DROP SAW : A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS : Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER : An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW : One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. MOLE-GRIPS : Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH : Used almost entirely for lighting on fire various flammable objects in your shop. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.. TABLE SAW : A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK : Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW : A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST : A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER : Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER : A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR : A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50p part. HOSE CUTTER : A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER : Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE : Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

It should “peel” open from bottom to top, spray some release oil in each top corner so it can soak in and gravity will play its part too, tap round the sides and top with a small (technical term) tapping hammer and try to gently prize the two sections apart from each bottom corner where the screws were located, dont be too forceful, patience will be the key [emoji106] if you do decide to use heat then do it sparingly along the whole circumference of the muffler tapping it as you go with said tapping hammer. Patience is the key [emoji106]
