what code came up when the light went on? not very common for a PCM to fail.

this would be covered under your emissions warranty if your not out of it yet. emissions warranty is usually 8yr/80k or 100K miles.

better double check before buying one.

sometimes just a reflash can work. if the PCM is toast i'd shop for a used one with the same configuration as your truck then have the dealer flash in your VIN.

yes, just get one from a trucl with options like yours. i think the factory alram system gives problems sometimes.
