Thanks to you all for your help and Leroy diesel for over the weekend delivery to Stacy ( my girl ).

Good going Ken, always nice to hear when a problem gets solved.
When My PMD crapped out, the engine would rev against redline, then cut off, almost die, then back to redline, along with lots of black smoke when it would rev. Nedless to say, i was on ice and the truck was almost uncontrollable. LOL
Just another sign of a PMD going bad, to warn You about. LOL
get a spare just for the comfort of it. LOL

Try it sometime with the engine revving uncontrollably, then with the enjun shutting off, while trying to make a 90 degree corner. LOL

Yeah, try having a fairly hopped up 6.5 with a low stall speed coverter and 5:13 gears at a stoplight go full throttle pmd failure while as early 20 something mom is pushing a baby carriage right infront of you through the crosswalk.

It started spinning tires like I was power braking at the dragstrip trying to smoke the tires. Killed the key$ slammed into park, jumped out apologizing to the new mom, and promptly kicked dents in the door and fender.
I never owned a pmd since then except ones I gave away, usually attached to a ds4. Astonished that a forced recall never occurred.

Recalls cost $ , quick thinking shutting her down. I'd still be shaken up. F Ing computers.

Good thing You were solid on the brake pedal, that could have been dissasterfull.
I bet the poor lady just about had a real, non baby, mess to clean up.
