Default Electric Gremlins ...PCM?

Team I need some guidance, I have an 08 5.7 LoneStar edition 1500. I have a check engine indicating low oil pressure, Crank case is full gauge in dash is reading all good, I check and the forum says the sensor is a little touchy could have been bumped during recent oil change. IT was suggested that I clear the code. I do so and low and behold goes away for two days and comes back with not only the low oil pressure but also saying that I need to replace the ERG valve, or at least clean it, I buy a new sensor along with ERG valve and install them, all is good for about a mile and then it is back on with an additional code calling for the PCM to be checked. I have 133K on this truck so it should be still a spring chicken but through its life I have chased sensors and codes forever. It was recommended to me to have the PCM flashed and of course I make arrangements for that with local dodge dealer who refuses to do it because his scan indicates nothing is wrong with the truck at the time (light was out)...any guidance

Go to a different dealer. Just like your home PC. PCM will have new software.
