Driving to town to get mower parts and gasoline. Suddenly, no power, trailer-hitching like a banshee. Pedal to the floor and couldn't hold 30mph.

My Windows system won't boot at the moment, so I can't get to Auto Enginuity. This thing is going to kill me! Guess I need to raise the Windows boot problem priority.......

SMH!

IIRC 745 is the one I got when my transmission sh*t the bed. Why that showed up exactly when your fuel issues showed up is weird. Did you hit something?

Truthfully I think it's something electrical. All that wonky stuff happening at once? Looking for a really good manual that identifies all ground locations and going over harnesses in the morning. Else I'll driving the diesel-guzzling 6.0 Powerstroke 'till I work this out. If it's a tranny, than so be it. I did my F-250's 5R110 on the garage floor. These should be cake. Still, everything all at once..... :rolleyes:

I'm no mechanic but it does seem like it's electrical or a bad computer or something. Otherwise sudden damage to a wiring harness or something.

I was a Ford mechanic for 12 years,, but that was some time ago. I'm not super familiar (yet) with the more current technologies. But when a bazillion systems all freak out at the same time - I think the same thing as you do. I gave it a pretty good "wiggle test" took a few basic measurements, found few grounds that could use some attention today, but best of all, I got that stupid UEFI boot problem with Windows fixed about an hour ago, so I can log in again. That means Auto Enginuity and a couple other monitors will going to work -- early tomorrow
