Message: [QUOTE="lincolnlocker, post: 1485481, member: 944"] i understand but i even looked down each pushrod hole for the gasket to be torn to rule that out. none of the pushrods rubbed or tore the gasket. i watched each injector spit oil out. i will let him know that any pcm from 99 to 01 will work for testing. i think that any auto pcm will work in a standard trans truck but not vise versa so that shouldnt matter but what about all the additional stuff like cruise and power windows and what not? something new to add is that he can't get the alternator to charge now. it was weak when i got there and we had the charger on it so i didnt think much of it. cuz wirh the charger on it, it stayed above 14v. well i guess now it wont stay up or charge at all. he went and got a new/reman and tgat one is not charging either so he took the alternator to a guy down the road that rebuilds starters and alternators and had him check it out. he said it worked great for him and even watched the guy test it and it was up around 14.5v.. so back he went and a few phone calls to that guy cuz it was still not charging and i guess the signal/exciter wire voltage isnt sufficient enough to tell it to charge..... i was always told and even verified myself that the little plug in the alternators where just for reference and nothing to do with it charging or not. i have unpluged mine before and it never changed voltage. think my 01 or my brothers 02 had one of those wires broke and it still charged.. so either mine where a fluke or his is really ***ed up.. but that isnt making it run like it is because i had it over 14.2v when i was there..
