Don't burn the truck. I know that with a little time and some patience we could collectively get you through your issues. I am by no means a diesel mechanic either and I still try to mess with my own. But I pray that you find a decent shop to take it to.

To all of you that took your time to posted suggestions or give a nice word of encouragement...... I Thank You...... Like I had posted, I began with rough idle, no power issue, purchased the AE from Clay which I got one day earlier than expected, without knowing how to use it and what to look for, I got super frustrated and ended up taking the truck to an old friend that had just moved back to Miami. Verdict: He put his computer on the truck, ran a few tests and within 10 minutes he told me it was the IDM.....A part that was changed out at the dealer 4years/20Kmiles ago. So, ordered the part from him which he had a hook up for locally, and presto, truck back in action. He did tell me that I babied my truck too much and that once in a while I needed to drive the hell of of it to clean it up..........SO, here you have it. I will be looking out for a spare 120 IDM which I will throw in my parts to go bin........
