Default question: All idiot lights are on???

OK so I went and looked at a dsco II 03 all dash lights are on it runs fine and sounds good but the lights are apparently a box or something and $2200 to repair at dealer or around $1100 DIY with the parts included in that price!

Anyone have any ideas and is this a disco to avoid???

Id appreciate the help and thanks in advance guys, I just sold my truck today and need something by mon/tue and the DII was on the top of the list.

Happy Holidays.

Had you more time you could grab a code puller and post the results here. No one can really comment on what the problem is until they can see what's throwing the codes.

There are some pretty cheap and DIY level fixes that can take care of *some* ABS codes.

However, seeing that I own an '03 and knowing what I know know now, I would have picked up a good '02 for the same or less money, instead.

If, indeed, that's the case....you can fix that with a couple of allen wrenches, spare wire, and a solder gun.

Search the forum for "shuttle valve fix".

The dealer will want to replace the ABS module and charge you several thousand dollars.

Keep in mind, however, that '03s are notorious for oil pump failures. Given the number of '04 oil pumps that are starting to go, I wouldn't lend any creedance to LRs claims that it was limited to a certain VIN range in '03.
