You get any further help on this? It does not sound like a PCM issue. Sounds like a UVC or an IDM issue.

Do you have a way to pull codes from the PCM?

The PCMs in these trucks are very robust and rarely fail from regular use.

Sounds like you have some work ahead of you.

I still think you should check the code, It might help diagnose further...
