Call them, request for quotes is spotty as they are generally pretty busy. Mine came from a yard 4+ hrs away and got it overnight. Was shocked at how fast it got there.

 

Solo PCM has 'em for 200 bucks.

 

Ok so i just spent 230 bucks on a refurbished vin programmed pcm with 2nd day air shipping so hopefully have it by sat or Monday and crossing my fingers the truck will start..... If not guess I'll look in to how much scrap metal is going for these days

 

I've used Solo before , 1 for 2 on attempts. First attempt they didn't have a good core and it took them a week, but what I got worked. Second attempt with a friend, he had the right one in regular shipping time.

 

Ok so got new pcm today and put it in.... Still not starting however now my abs light stays on and my air bag and brake light plus my odometer continuously flashes.... Starting to get really frustrated with this truck

 

Is the odometer flashing the mileage or no bus? ABS light on is indicative of the VIN not matching between ABS computer and PCM usually, but not always. 98 was a goofy year.

 

It's flashing the mileage but when i do the hold trip button in and turn key on it flashes the no communication with pcm code, and a couple more. And i specifically gave my vin to the place i bought it from so it's supposed to be plug and play although they didn't ask me for my mileage.

 

Update..... Rested eyes make a difference.... Was going back through double checking everything this morning and noticed on my inside fuse block two empty spaces, decided what the hell and put fuses in both places and boom, communications restored to pcm, all lights went off and truck actually tried to start, when i got the truck the distributor was completely out so i read up on how to reinstall dist but used my gf as my compression stroke helper, let me just lead with she's a blonde, enough said.... So my question is how do you tell if it's 180 out? Well the truck start at all? I can play with the dist and get it to barely start and run but it's extremely rough and only runs for like 5 second and of you give it gas it stalls plus there's a lot of white, raw gas smelling fumes coming up through throttle body. Am i 180 out of is there something else I'm missing?

 

pull the #1 plug, rotate the crank to the TDC mark and see if the piston is at the top of its stroke, if not, rotate crank 360*. Then check distributor rotor for pointing to #1 cylinder. if not, reset it.

 

Rotor pointing to #1 cyl or #1 cyl on dist cap?
