Did you pinch the cps wire when you put the distributor cap on? I believe the parts stores have a tester that can verify if it's good or not.

Try swapping some relays around in the PDC. (under the hood, drivers fender well.) Pull the cover, and underneath will be a 'map' of what is where. Try swapping out the ASD relay with another one. (i think they are all pretty much the same relay.)

Havent had any time to really do anything TO her. Been chasing down this "No buS" issue as of late. It's driving me absolutely crazy.

Have you tried re-seating the plugs on the PCM yet? I know it might be a stupid question but some people wouldn't think to try that.

Got my grille installed, license plate bracket painted and installed, headlights put in and adjusted, what a difference they made, and drove the truck for the first time in almost 3 weeks, oh what a rush it was

When mine did that the dealer pulled the cluster then put it back in. Seemed to have fixed it cause it never came back. Just another free idea to try

YAY....as most know i changed my T-Case...well when i got it back together there was no speedo, so i never hooked up the front driveshaft (incase i had to take t-case out again)

Well i got the speedo working, and then it was time to actually test the t-case.....i put the front driveshaft on, and boom, goes in and out of 4wd like a dream! i threw it in 4lo, and it feels like this has much more torque in 4lo.....truck jumped forward when i put it in gear but i rolls smoothly......comes right out of 4x4 and no more grinding!

Yay Ol' Blue is fixed at the moment until next week when something else goes lol.
