Nice win Snow, always good to have a little extra cash.

Russ, you won already, you're in Vegas, Im at work.....see, you win!

In Excursion news, I used my added power via Sport tune to angrily pass a douche on his phone going 10 under the limit. It seems like everyone is driving in slow motion lately. And no, Im not driving any faster than I usually do.

Can you guess my theme?
Despair? Angst? Damn the bad luck?

We are talking about my images, not Russ's luck in Vegas.

I figured out my #1 injector has no signal from the pcm...now trying to figure out how to check the signal at the pcm before ordering a new one...

The 6.8L. I forgot to mention that.

I just tested resistance from the injector to the plug at the pcm and it's a good wire. I can't think of any other tests so I will order a pcm asap and drive to my nearest dealer and install it in their service parking lot.

I need to get another key made too...only have 1.

Yes. That's out I figured out there was no signal to the injector. However, the wire seems to be good.

Here's a brain teaser for yall. The wiring diagram shows the #1 injector at the 75 pin. I got resistance from what I assume was the 74 pin on the connector...

I am wondering if someone has been messing around with the pins in the connector. The reason I have suspicions is because the key I have has the pats chip taped over in the key. It's like maybe someone replaced the pcm once already and happened to have the pats chip that went with it and replaced it in the current key. I only got one key with the truck...

Is there a pinout diagram anywhere to show where the wire should be located in the connector? I suppose I can go count the pins and try to determine that way. I wish I knew how to test the pcm to see if the pin was working or not or if someone maybe put the wire in the wrong location in the connector.

Usually we post good stuff here...but not tonight...


I was putting things back together when my stool slipped I landed on my hood latch and dropped my turbo, which narrowly missed my foot and landed in the driveway. This is one of the few times I am glad I don't have a asphalt or cement drive, because it bounced off my bumper and landed in the gravel.


I've inspected it and can't find anything damaged or broken, so it appears that I'm pretty lucky this time...other than the big gash in the bumper

Scratches are the rights of passage. Usually a good story behind each one.
