Revised Comments:
If I remove ALL of the serin commands, I also get the Basic Run Err. Could this mean that it doesn't see the serin 16 as a valid command?

You are probably having the problem of trying to receive data faster than the stamp can handle. There is no way around this. I am pretty sure that 16 is right but there is a chance i could be wrong. It has been a long time since i have dealt with the old controllers of basic stamps at all.
BTW: you cannot "tone down" the baud rate or the communication will become totally corrupted. You will be listening at a different rate than data is being sent by the dashboard.
Also it is essentially receiving "BS" data. Data from the dashboard port is not in the format that is expected. This may be causing some later piece of code to screw up.
