    Me too. Should be here Tuesday. After a mail in rebate it'll be under $120.

    If it don't work, I'll send it back.

    New PCM is/was plug and play!!

    Good news, I've got a ground signal from the PCM for the O2 heater circuit AND the light did not come on.

    I'll take the truck for a drive in a little while to be sure the problem is fixed. Before I swapped it, the light would come on immediately.

    Only bad thing is, crank sensor light is still on. Compression test later!

    Still runs a little rough, hoping the compression test will tell me something.

    Alright, took it in a good drive let it warm up. It idles way better, still a slight stumble but no where near as bad as it was. O2 codes didn't pop up once in my entire drive.

    Still throwing a little smoke out the pipe, burning oil??? Bad gaskets??? We will find out shortly

    Compression test results are in!

    Every cylinder but #1&#2 had a reading of 150-160. #1&#2 read 130 and 137. Lowest allowed reading is 128.

    While those 2 readings are low, I don't really think I have a gasket leak. if the numbers were lower, I would think that would be my problem. I tested each cylinder 2-3 times before moving to the next cylinder.

    MSD ignition coil will be here at 11. I think the coil in the truck is pretty old. Found a set of numbers on it that I think could be a production date, 0908. Other than that, I Ave no clue what brand or when it was put on.

    Replacing a few hoses here and there, I gotta find the misfire.

    I hope you have better luck with the msd than I had. The PO put one on my mustang like a month before he sold it. It went out like 2 weeks after I got it, left me stranded.
