From what I've read on the internet through google searching that code, the dealership was correct. Somehow the PCM got fried. Only info I could find on repair was replacement of the PCM. How many miles are on your truck? I found a spot that said the PCM was covered under 8yr/80,0000 mi required emissions warranty.

Hi there BigBill, relocate the coil wire away from the fuel injectors. A leak from your coil wire is known to feed back to the PCM and fry it. It happen to me.
