No offense taken on my part. I'm simply stating my opinion once again on how crappy Cardone PCMs are "rebuilt". I am truly glad you resolved your issue, but I would not trust that Cardone pile of poo any further than I can throw it if it were my truck. It may work for a day or another 30 years, do you feel lucky?

Now is the time to replace the capacitors in your PCM to keep as a spare.

Glad it's working for you now.

Fore sure grab some correct value caps, then solder (or have it done) them in & get the original ECU back in.

Looks like the very same tech did yours as mine. (Note colors on the caps as well as board quality)
