Any ideas to help him Tom?

 

yea. sell it and buy an IDI. no damn computer problems with an IDI.

 

Gotta point there, BUT, that's not much help for his currant issue
:-missing

 

can't help with that, i never had to remove a computer out of a 92-newer rig.

 

I've never run into what he's run into. Must be the drain spilled over, and corroded it to the steel surround.
Probably going to be a mess when he gets it out

 

I have slid a putty knife on the sides. It is definitely corroded. I am not able to slide the knife in at the top on the flat or the bottom. I will keep trying and may take the fender off, but at that point I am half way to a cab swap right?

 

Cab swap not so bad.
If you take the inner fender down, you can get to it pretty good.

Maybe take the tire of if your a little larger than average

 

And for more fun....

 

It took a lot of hammering and swearing but it is finally out. I am surprised it runs. Maybe it won't after all the hammering.....



Box number MLE0 ????

 

Mleo is family
the numbers under the bar code is your "box"

Looks like it may have gotten a bath

The one on my parts truck won't work for you anyway, it's early 2nd half year 94
Your truck pc is like a super duty compared to it

 

The truck did run prior to me removing this piece but I was always fighting weird start and power issues. I decided to pull it so I could clean the contacts and install the Hydra. Once I got it out all the memories came back from prior diagnostics indicating it could be a problem with the ecu... Well to that I say yes probably now that I see the darn thing.

 

 

I also would check the caps, there is a big problem with the gas pcm's from the early 90's start at 94, the first year for maf in pick ups.

I imagine that goes over to diesel

I like what Mike said, because I see a lot of water corrosion on that board that is a big issue right there

 

I decided to look in the IDM as well. It wasnt sloshing but it isn't pretty.

 

Wow. I guess your going to stop using the truck as a wwII duck soon, eh>
LOL
Was this a flood truck or something?
