    Did the re-flash work Bryce or are you
    needing a new PCM?

    OK guys so i figured it was my PCM ford could not communicate with it so i found a company that rebuilds them for $150 so i sent it off when i got it back i re-installed the pcm and still nothing so i gave up and had the truck towed to ford. they spent 8 hrs tracing everything out to fall back on bad pcm so i had them order a new one. took 2 weeks to get it in they installed it only to find out my batteries took a **** would not take a charge at all. so two new batteries and it fired right up. they charged me 4 hrs labor, pcm, and batteries totaling $1900 just for ford that doesn't include the $150 i spent to try and have it rebuilt the $70 oil change i did (i was a quart low figured that might be it) and the $45 for a new crankshaft positioner. oh and i got a new tuner i bought a diablosport intune for $250 used. sorry for the late reply but i got caught up with work and this pain in the ass along with my computer taking a **** on me
