Notice that Duke has a 2019, which is the year that seems to have escaped the bean counter scythe that has ravaged later years.
In reality, I don’t even know if we have that sensor or not. ? But when you’re making sh!t up from the start, you might as well go all-in. ?

I am truly sorry sir that I failed you James. :(

My gear was at home, I was on Interstate 45 in the fast lane heading to Houston when my truck started acting like this. I already had plans made for a full day with someone I see rarely. My mind was on things.

Wait...what am I doing here...I am sorry and I will not be rude to you but I have no clue who you are or why you are even posting something like this?

Am I wrong with my off-the-hip diagnosis? Maybe...I'm human.

But don't come at me like this okay?

I will be more than willing to eat crow if it isn't what I thought it was. But this? Nah...please don't post if you are going to be like that.

Nope. It's that missing middle tie down.

Edit: Since he's got a 2019 he'd got the middle tie downs. My bad.
Not necessarily. It was during the 2019 model year production that it got deleted. I know because my 2019 did not have them

yeah I did not have the middle tie downs.

Or the engine cover.

And I never installed the tailgate damper.

I'm surprised the poor truck is still on the road. :(

And I still haven't heard any news from the dealer... :(

I am curious...most say it is the rear most plug right?

I ask because the plug they broke off was the #1.

The rear most plug is #1 - and yes, that is the plug that is affected by this.
