He bought the truck with all the mods done.


Have you checked the basics:
battery cables tight?
grounds good?
spark plug wires aren't melted at all?
PCM is plugged in all the way?

Just a few thoughts that come to mind that are often over looked

didnt do it until after the hypertech 93 flash. my best friend got a dak and it came with a programmer. still gonna get the sct tho' could the the pcm be going bad? i know that it is the regulator for these trucks.

i know that the connections are solid on the pcm, alternator, and battery. havent checked the starter because its so low its a major PITA to get to. I doubt the starter because when it does work it does so flawlessly.

the pic is my buddies dak i mentioned. i shopped' the lower stance and grille because that is what hes considering doing
