Thank goodness we have this forum!

It's sad because I work at the dealer as a salesman & I think they suck.
lol just don't tell them I said that

All's been well until about a week ago they would come on until it got well over 226 and then not sure about going into low or high mode. Rad clean and dealer said its operating normally. Going back to the tuner so he can check the program he put in.
Bet that helps. It fixed mine,
