Sounds frustrating! It’s wild how those symptoms can seem connected to other issues too. The whole thing had me puzzled!
It’s funny how we love our trucks until they give us trouble! Who knew a little PCM could cause such chaos, right?
I’ve been dealing with PCM issues on my Ford 6.0 for a while now. One indicator is erratic engine behavior or poor fuel economy. What are the repair options you guys have considered?
Remanufactured PCM units are a popular choice. They can be reliable and often come with warranties, but they may not always perfectly match your original specifications.
I’ve heard reflashing existing modules can save some cash, but it’s crucial to find a good technician. Any suggestions on reputable shops?

That’s true, but buying remanufactured can get pricey. Sometimes you can end up paying more than for a new one if you aren’t careful.
I think it’s important to consider the long-term reliability of a remanufactured unit versus the risk of reflashing. Are you willing to compromise on warranty coverage?

Exactly! I want peace of mind, and I’m worried about the longevity of a cheap option. Anyone had good experiences with either method?
I’ve seen some happy customers with reman units, but they definitely cost more. Sometimes it’s worth the investment to avoid headaches later! What do you think?
I went with a reflashed PCM and had some issues down the road. Just a thought—sometimes cheaper isn’t better! Have others experienced something similar?
It’s a mixed bag, for sure! But hey, at least I can say my PCM had a wild ride before it finally went out—ouch! Still deciding what route to take next.

I wonder if anyone’s tried a DIY reflash? Seems risky but could be a fun project! What do you all think?
