So, went out for a roughly 9 hour round trip today. About 3 hours into the trip, the truck has a harsh "klunk." I didn't think much of it as I was running up and down some steep hills, and just assumed that the transmission had a moment of stupidity. About 30 minutes later, it happens again followed by the M, S, and D flashing on the dash. I managed to make it to an auto parts store to have them check the battery and alternator; I assumed it was one of the two, or both. Turns out the alternator took a shit on me, but no worries, the auto parts store had one in stock. Got the alternator changed out, and continued on my way. Made it another 3 hours to my destination with no issues. About 2 hours into the return trip, same symptoms as before. Turning off the motor, and starting it again was a temporary fix that allowed me to make it the rest of the way home; it happened 2 other times on the way. I read the codes once home, and got a P0335 CPS circuit A code. Now, I just changed the CPS a week ago after it failed and left me stranded.
I'm guessing it's either the battery (tested okay at the auto parts store), the CSP (I would hope it lasts longer than a week), or something caused a new alternator to go tits up. So, does anyone have any idea what could be going on? BTW, it's an '02 Disco with 142,000 miles.
Thanks in advance!
