    So my OBD wouldn't connect . 2 weeks ago I had installed fog lights seemed all worked well . Then this past Thursday I had a 2.5" Leveling kit installed . I drove home 2 miles from the shop and it wouldn't start after about an hour . I couldn't get it back in until after the long weekend . Witch would be tomorrow . So today I'm at the gym thinking what the F--k is wrong . I had checked all the fuses inside and out . I looked under the truck for loose wires . Then it doned on me . When I hooked up the fog lights I had to run the switch harness through the rubber boot in the fire wall . I had poked a hole in it with a flat head screwdriver and taped a coat hanger to the end of the harness then fed it through the fire wall . So I get home and tried to start it again with no luck . Then I reached in under the hood and pushed in on the main harness where I had fed the fog light harness through . I tried it again and it started . I must have jarred a wire loose . This is something I'll have to keep an eye on . I did a scan after but there's no falts .

    I would be looking for that loose connection. It is almost certain when it quits again ( and it will ) it will be when you can least afford to be without the truck.
