This morning was another wet morning, but she fired right up with no problem. Hopefully it will pick up a code or something next time it happens. The fun of intermittent problems....

Next time it happens, I'll try cranking, check for codes, then pull the ECM to inspect.
Closing the loop on this problem. The Remanufactured ECM from A1/Cardone was bad. Humid, Rainy, etc, the truck starts and runs fine.

I have replaced it with another unit (found a guy on Ebay who rebuilds them), and have had no issues since. The A1 unit is still under warranty, but I've yet to find out if they'll refund or just send replacement.

Thanks to all who have helped.

Those Cardone PCMs can be problematic. Sorry to see you were another victim. I would press those clowns for a full refund.
