Okay so Ive been having some issues with the truck lately. Its in idle problem where the truck at idle doesn't feel right. My dash lights are flickering and my volt meter on the dash is moving form 14.5 to 14 volts. Also the tuck makes a sounds like it wants to die out at idle and only at idle. It has actually shut off twice in the past 2 weeks at a red light. I have been reading about this through the forums and checked for some solutions. I know my grounds are good so i know its not a loose connection. Next I'm going to clean out the throttle body even though I just did it this past July. And I'm not so sure this could be causing the problem but last year when I was doing a big audio install in the truck, when i was removing the rear seats somehow the seat bracket caught the ribbon on the Body Control Module and tore it a bit. I didn't really think anything of it because the truck ran like normal. But now I'm having this issue and I'm wondering if this could be the problem. Anyway I went a head and bought a used one on eBay. I actually found the same part number that's on mine right now. Now when I get it will it be just a plug in? I'm thinking I might have to get the pcm flashed to make it work right? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys
