You shouldn't be dropping communication.

Unless you have experience in repairing circuit board probably not a good idea.

Get a rebuilt one. Lots of them available online.

Any codes when it shuts down? When does it stall, after starting or running a while?

Do you have access to sensor data via an OBD scanner? I use the Ultragage.

Yeah have a reader. No Codes come up nd if I leave the key on and try to start it it just cranks. I have to turn the truck completely off after it stalls and then it starts right back up first try. But occasionally I will get the no bus signal meaning it has dropped communication but I had the pcm replaced two years ago. What could be causing then to keep going bad

the ultragage gives you live sensor data from IAT, ignition timing, TPS, ect. I use it for monitoring systems.

It may be that your reman PCM is not the best quality reman.
