Most any electronic shop the deals with repairing Tv's or computers should be able to replace the caps. You can do it yourself, but you will probably have to buy the necessary capacitors online. Not a big deal, just a time restraint.

If you swap your PCM for a reman, the store should provide you with warranty for life on it as long as you own the truck. They won't transfer the warranty to another buyer of thw vehicle.
I would try to salvage my original but if in a bind, a remanufactured one is your best luck.

I found a place that says they can do it. I don't know any places local to me, and this place will do it for $125 including shipping both ways and will only charge the shipping if it turns out they can't repair it for whatever reason. Between paypal, my cc company, and the ebay listing -- plus 100% positive on 300+ transactions, I feel I won't get jerked around too much so I'll give them a go. With the $25 promo code ebay has going, it is a $99.99 try. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Fixed?

Received the ECU back on Monday, and after two test drives, I'm 85% sure things are back to normal. I still don't trust the truck, but so far I have no reason to believe it still has the issue.

Company I used goes by Pro-Rebuild on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/usr/pro-rebuild

They cover priority mail shipping both ways for their price. I shipped Wednesday, and it arrived there Friday. They fixed and shipped the same day for me to have it back on Monday. Excellent service.

Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas! Hopefully I won't be back in this thread!
