I am having trouble with my truck and me and my buddy are stumped. Figuring this is prolly the best place to find the help I need.

I'm having trouble with your post because you didn't tell us anything. At this point I have to tell you to replace your buddy.

The Pope is on his game today. :laugh: Welcome to the Club. What issues are you having with your truck, other than a non-helpful buddy?

I didn't figure that this was the right place to post the issues. I will post a thread in the general section as soon as I'm off the road...in my rental

The rpms started going crazy and then will drop to 0 and die. Sometimes it starts back up, sometimes it won't. Truck jumps just like the rpms do in the video so it's not just the gauges.

Yeah, keep your eyes on the road, please.

Code P0420 is thrown and I understand that is for the cat and o2 sensor but I don't know if one of those would cause the issues shown in the video and what to do from here

Cat was bad. Changed that out but during test drive it stalled. Started back up immediately and died after a short period of time. Did this repeatedly.

I was wondering about the cat after seeing the vid - it has happened to me on two vehicles now, always once it gets hot; a small piece of the honeycomb will be loose and block the exhaust, causing the back pressure and a bouncing tach (or boost gauge). Glad you got it figured out.

Turn down the sound - here was Jetta TDI bouncing around - 'replaced' the cat and all was well.

Now it just won't stay started, keeps stalling. Sometimes after10 min, some times immediately, sometimes after an hour, sometimes after 2min
