Okay, Okay, In Excursion related news mine finally made it known it was pissed. Last night about half past midnight, this young buck was sleeping for about an hour and a half when i hear the alarm going off on my Excursion. I knew exactly what had happened when i woke up to it. I had someone else in the house grab something out of it, in doing so they armed my Viper alarm..no biggie right? wrong. I found out last summer when the trickle charger is plugged in and the alarm is armed it spikes the voltage enough to freak the alarm out and set it off. I had been just locking it manually from inside the drivers door instead but the person grabbing stuff out of it was not aware of the fact...i ended up getting back to sleep near 1am and slept like a baby.
So - to find a matching numbers/code PCM - everyone is wanting close to $900 as a replacement.
yet - same year F250/350 with the same drivetrain, GPCM controlled, auto+4x4 and what not, is almost 1/2 the price (or less!) - WTF?!
Has anyone here swapped in a PCM (after getting reflashed for vin/pats) into their EX using an F250/350 PCM?
If anyone has one for sale as well, NQW5 Code (that works ) please let me know. yes, this is for the same EX that's in my SIG below
F250/350 trucks don't have PATS, so I dunno if it will work?

Okay guys, I've cleaned the thread, but it's gonna stay closed for a bit until I think things have cooled off enough for it to stay on topic.
For everyone's viewing pleasure, I direct everyone's attention to the "troll" sticky thread placed at the top of the Excursion forum by my esteemed colleague and fellow Moderator, Toreador.
Actually, so you can save your mouse clicking finger some work, here it is, quoted below so you won't expend any undue energy with your index finger.

From FTE's guidelines:
2. Personal Conduct . Post language and material suitable for the home or office. Do not post foul language, racial epithets or sexually explicit content in any form. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Forum Troll Defined:
3. Forum Troll- An obnoxious user or member on a forum that goes out of their way to make pointless, offensive, or annoying posts and messages. Often these users are labeled as spammers and will post random off-topic junk in many sections of a forum. Urban Dictionary: defin...rm=forum+troll (third definition fits)
4. Forum troll- Trolls are people who want to get on your nerves. They will usually lurk around the forums and wait for an opportunity to annoy or attack a user. The best way to ignore a troll is not to flame back, but to report and move on. Trolls are no good and should be exiled.
If a user's posts fit either one of the top definitions, the simplest way to avoid enraging yourself and aiding the offending user in sending the Thread off topic is to add that user to your "ignore list".
Just go to your User Control Panel and from the menu on the left, look at the last item under "Settings and Options" which is "Edit Ignore List". Click on that and you can enter a user's name that you would like to ignore, and then that user's posts won't show up for you.
When you respond to a troll, you are adding fuel to a fire that will consume the Thread in question and destroy it. I've had to edit and in some cases close and delete threads that were and perfectly good before trolling started.
Trolling not only consumes the Thread, but it may also consume YOU! You may get upset and dwell on the offending user's post and hopefully not find yourself upset for the remainder of your day because of this.
Furthermore, if you respond to the offending users post (i.e. Fire back) you will be infracted for participating and encouraging trolling.
This starts as of today March 2nd, 2009, so for future reference, use the ignore function and save yourself a headache.
Let's all cool off and behave.
Posting in this thread will resume at a later date.
Packing is underway for an EARLY departure tomorrow morning... Tomorrow we will be driving across Oregon, Idaho and into Utah. Sunday we will be driving from Utah, across Wyoming and then down to Denver. It is going to be a LONG two days.
Edit: Here is a look at the road trip for the next two days. The stops are about every 4 to 5 hours (Pendleton, OR/ Twin Falls, ID/ Farmington, UT/ Rawlins, WY/ Thornton, CO), where we will top off the fuel tank, stretch, pee the dog and ourselves and then hit the road again...
Drove mine to work again. It's been over a month since I've had to fill it with Gas so that's nice. But it's down to 1/4 now, so $120 or so $ later it should be full again.
