Got the PCM back and installed it.. The truck actually runs pretty good. However Now I am getting 2 codes that I didnt get before. Both are related to O2 sensor 1/2 Bank one sensor 2 One code says low voltage the other says high voltage. WTF how can it be both. The injector driver is working great now but this truck is getting to be a huge pain in my balls. Every time its something different.

O2 voltage?...the heater in one of the sensors is bad or you have a chafe or corrosion in one of the wires. I have had the best luck with replacing all O2 sensors at once..they are a life limited part...replacing all at once removes the possible issue of one being "slow" while the rest are right on time...that can and usually does trip a CEL.. Double check your voltages and resistance for the O2 harness wires....I know its costly....but best to get the ones with the preterminated ends too. Splices as you know add resistance which is what's being measured....just my .02

If you replace the sensors do not use Bosch. They are said to be "lazy".
NTK or is it NGK are said to be the ones to use.
You may want to clear the codes and drive the truck and see if they come back. The codes may have been stored from the sensors trying to compensate for the injector not firing on one bank.

I haven't had the same experience with Bosch being generally lazy....when all replaced together....though 1 new Bosch with a couple old anything..Ngk, Nippo-Denso, OEM...is gonna give ya fits.

You sure are showing what a good neighbor is.
Can't help but see this as a pound of cure that opposed the ounce of prevention.
Anyone with some common sense would have seen through the absurdly low prices this idiot mechanic had listed. Seriously....It is often times that the cheapskate ends up spending the most. Rebuilding any newer engine with OEM parts is well beyond the $1750 price alone. Labor rates of even half a dealership service department would push a job like this over $3000 in total. Your buddy may be a great person but he is obviously not savvy enough to spot a deal "Too good to be true". An online YELP review search would have probably turned up some interesting responses. I'm no tech guy but I do research on something that I'm unfamiliar with. I wouldn't trust an ad for a reroofing job for $300, a kidney transplant for $5000 or a full rebuild and swap of any engine for $1750 unless it was a lawn mower....
You're in deep here...You offered to help the guy and the "good deal" will continue to bite you in the ***. I hope this guy finds some way to return the favor. Maybe mow your lawn for a year?
