The 3 pins on the right side of the pic do not look clean

Option 2 is swap PCM with the mare and send yours off to be fixed.

I'm not that confident, I'll check to see what the turn around time is. Next week I'm taking the mule to SD to haul water with so I'll just leave the mare sit for awhile.

I just looked again, they are cleaner then the picture shows.

It really is surprising to me, I think the mare could pull the camper without a chip. 1200 EGT's is the highest I could get out of it. But of course the real test is pulling a load.

I think all your problems will be gone after that and tuning is fixed

I warned others not to do it and I did it

. Jonathan said they can fix that but Mike said the contacts can be re-tinned?? There is a plastic divider that looks to me might get to hot and melt, IDK.

Awhile ago I talked to dynamat and they said if I put dynamat under the hood and hoodliner that they sold it would reduce the noise. I finally got the stuff and put it on and the ride I went on was much, much BETTER!!!

. I think the wife will not complain to much. The turbo whine is soften down.

My PCM looked the same as yours and I didnt have any issues, maybe with a good chip tunning it will be OK. IDK.

If it reduced the noise in some grade, Id put more in the lateral parts of the hood wich are not covered in the pics.

Glad to hear that seems that all is taking its place

Hope so, if I send the PCM in I going to ask about turn around time for sure. I'm also going to ask about checking and fine turning the chip according to what I experienced dispite the contact points on the PCM. About four or five years ago I bought a PCM on ebay cheap with a 80hp DP tuner on it. I threw it in my tool box and never did try it out. I don't even remember if its for a auto or stick. I'm sure I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for a auto. Do you think it would hurt anything if I tried it?? Thanks for all your help here Mike!

I used the whole 'hoodliner' but do have a little dynamat left. I probably will put some on the edges Jose.

That's another reason I'm thinking about sending in the PCM with the chip just so they don't have any excuses, LOL.

Thanks Rich, I'll check for the PM.

Sounds like you're getting it all figured out Glenn. I think you're gonna be in good shape when you get the PCM/tuning issue taken care off.

Mike, the code on mine is TDEO (the O has a line thru it) and my spare is TDE1. Took me awhile to find it, LOL

Thanks Bill, I'm getting it figured out but I hope I'm on the right track. A famous saying, "time will tell", LOL

That hood liner looks good too! Where did you get that? Looks like something I'd like to put in the CC.

First I went to Dynamat's website and got the part number. Then do a search on Amazon.

Thanks Mike, sounds like this might be worth a try.
