Angry Freak'n Truck!!!

This morning I'm on my way to run some errands and the truck just dies on the freeway, check gauges light and ckeng light comes on, starts flashing/beeping and coast over to the side of the road. Call freak'n roadside and 45min later a wrecker shows up. Before the wrecker shows up I wiggled the main wiring harness under the dash and it starts, ckeng light still on. I decide to get it towed anyways. Get to the dealer, unloaded the truck, I drove it up to the service dept and the things acts up again. After an 1hr they page me and told me the PCM ground wire was loose. So I pick it up, drive about a block and stop and have some lunch. Get back in the truck and it just cranks! I cycle the key and it starts, ckeng light is on, so I'm back to the dealer. They scanned it and found the same fault stored, "PCM power interruption." Well they take the neg cable off of the battery and found some arching marks, cleaned up the battery cables and terminals, re-assembled and gave me back the truck. The tech showed me a TSB from S.T.A.R that addresses the problem.

Anybody else had this issue/problem???
