the pig tail P/N 3C3Z-12224-AA has been replaced by P/N 5C3Z-12224-A, the price is now $140.00 $115.00 with my discount this is nuts for a 6 inch long piece of wire!

well I found the core problem, the FICM was breaking down when it got hot, I drove the truck until it got up to temperature stopped than re started and it died every 10 to 15 seconds, I then took ice and packed the FICM for about 5 minutes and the truck ran as it should. I found a used FICM in a wrecking yard for $250.00 changed it and the problem went away.

Anyway, I was wondering if it was possible to just get a used FICM from a salvage yard and stick it on the truck without having to flash program it at the dealer? I figured if I could find one from an '04 that it would at least work, it may not be right, but it would work. I've done this before on GM ECMs that need flash programmed just to rule out bad ECMs before.

One thing I have learned from you guys on here is that apparently there have been some recalls on this truck(I think), well, my buddy swears he was never notified of them if there was....I'm pretty sure he may have been, but just threw the notices away, not knowing what they were, so there may be some things on this truck that still need fixed that will probably cost him now.

Anyway, sorry for the long post, thanks for any info.

I purchased one from a wrecking yard and used it as is, most trucks have the current flashes in them.

Thanks for the quick reply, helifixer! This site is great, and has loads of great info....unfortunately, I'm on dialup internet for now(and have been for the last nine years), and this site doesn't load quickly on dialup, so I don't post very often, but I have found loads of great info on here. Been shopping for a new laptop and am going to upgrade to high speed internet hopefully soon, so that should help. Again, thanks for the quick reply!
