Definitely. Because my old PCM works just fine now and the "new" rebuilt one doesn't work at all.
Was finally able to everything buttoned back up. Had to replace intake manifold gaskets because truck was running so crappy (backfiring) it actually blew the rear intake gasket out. So anyway, rebuilt the trans, put everything on top back together, New battery, fired it up and this truck runs and shifts so smooth now that I don't want to sell it lol.

Yeah, I love my 8.0 as well.... Gas mileage sucks, but, it gets me to where I need to go, regardless of weather/obstacles.
