Welcome. I bought my truck while I was in Iraq back in OIF III, (2004-2005). I understand how anxious you are to get home and start enjoying it. Take care, and be safe over there.

Have someone check the PCM code then you can get your chip ordered and have it ready and waiting when u get home!!! what mods are you planning on doing on the truck

Whats the easiest way to tell my girlfriend who is not mechanicly inclined at all to check the code. I have already tried to get her to find the valve cover build sticker to check my rods but had no luck. I'm going to get an AFE stage to intake 5in mrbp exhaust PHP Chip then eventualy tranny fule system oil and injectors i think thats about everythin. Thanks for all the support guys

Better yet have her make the small drive to Bill and I bet he can hook you up.

I would if she were in Ga right now but she aint she is with her parents in Or and that aint a small drive! Trust me I wish she was there cause I would let bill have the truck and my card and say have fun!:D Also Chuck I like your quote I wish you knew who said it I know I have heard it before but I don't remember where.

The best place to check for PMRs is to get the serial number off the engine (between the oil cooler and the flywheel). Might be a little messy though. If she can get that number, we can verify PMRs or Forged rods... at least as long as nobody has swapped them out during a rebuild.

Oh, and of course... Thank you for your service!
