Got a chance this morning to mess with it. I cleaned up all electrical contact points including wheels, axels, and pickups. I also adjusted the pickups to have more spring just in case they weren't making good contact with the wheels. I put it on the track and had the same problem. I then set CV8 to 8, reprogrammed the settings, and tried running it again. It ran very jerky around the track for a few minutes and still wouldn't run in reverse. Then after about 10 minutes, the decoder died. I replaced it with a spare DH465 I just received and it now runs perfectly again. I guess it was just another bad decoder. Good thing there's that one year warranty.
