i haven't been into the PCM on our truck... is there an EPROM chip that you can swap with your old PCM so you can maintain your mileage? i'm thinking ours is on it's way out too...

EPROM is just a removeable chip that you can swap from computer to computer in the rigs when replaced... keeps most of the drivers settings and information on it that way you dont have to run around and reprogram the tire size and gear ratio's and such... wasn't sure if they incorporated something of the sort on the PCM so that the mileage could transfer
