Disconnecting the battery and putting all the fuses back didn't work. The truck wouldn't start. Thanks for the idea anyway Ill Born SS, it was worth a shot. I've got a tow truck coming tomorrow morning to tow it to the dealer. I'm hoping the $80 tow and $100 reflash will at least get my truck running again.

I'm thinking about taking my tuner with me when I pick it up and flash the truck in the dealers lot. That way if it doesn't work again, at least I won't have to tow it. Is it a good idea to try to reflash without have Diablo Sport check the Predator 1st? Or should I see if Diablo Sport can look at it 1st? I've done this about 20 times with version 1.03 and never even had to set my parking brake, worked every time. But this 2.13 version has me scared.

I think I'd have the Predator checked out. Something doesn't seem right.

Dealer just called me.....PCM is fried. $500 to install a new PCM included parts, labor, and tax. Plus towing bill.

I'm going to see if Diablo Sport will look at it before I try to use it. It'd really suck to fry the second PCM.
