Hey Jason

[Lewis]

Jason it was my PCM, now the one that I sent for did not work, so I put it in the shop, to the tune of $ 544.00 bucks. They put a new one in and flashed it to my VIN and did the crank position relearn with a tech 2 scanner and it fired right up. Now what I have noticed is, I am burning less fuel and I can now here the air roar through the engine. And the voltage meter is no longer fluctuating, that went on for a long time, I thought that it was a failing voltage regulator or a failing diode in the alternator. Before the PCM failed I cleaned the Throttle Body, and it ran better, now with a new PCM in, and a clean throttle body, after the PCM learns it, my engine will continue to run great, and smooth. now I have to get it ready for the winter, I just put Mobile one full synthetic in there, now I have to change the Dex Cool and put on some more ceramic bracks and some spark plug wires and I will be good to go. Driving it for for a little bit the PCM will learn the truck and my driving habits and I am good. Here is some great info on PCM's man check it out.

I have not replaced wheel bearings in years, next time I will buy bearing packer that you step on instead of putting the grease in my hands

I have two of those, but don't let the thing sit too long as the grease petrifies. fun stuff to get that apart to refill it. those are about 30 bucks last time I checked. im talking about a hub with pressed in bearings and races that cant be removed , or if they can the cost is about the same as the whole hub to be replaced.
