  1. Hey Rick, I've personally never had to mess with mine before, but I remember a friend of mine having problems removing the old bushings on his arms. He actually bent the arm trying to press the old one out because it was really froze in place. He said he didn't have very much on them and was surprised when it folded like a pop can You may not even have anything to worry about especially if your truck has spent its entire life out of the rust belt (unlike my friends) but just a fore warning! Good luck!

    I'm not sure that a flash will do you any good. It may be worth paying a diagnostic fee and take it into a competent diesel repair shop. They should have a scanner that reads live data. Plug it in, start the truck, and read the live data feed on the scanner. This will tell them what is and isn't communicating and where the source of the problem is. Makes it a lot easier to make a decision on spending several hundred dollars. I went through the same thing with my pcm although the problems your having are different than what I was seeing. It is very difficult to diagnose on your own without the proper equipment which is why I made the decision to take it in and let the pros fix it. Luckily for me my friend which is a transmission rebuilder personally knows the owners of the shop I took it to and he reassured me they knew what they were doing and wouldn't just throw parts at it on my dime. $125 diagnostic fee but they waived it because I let them perform the repairs. Yes I had to pay labor rates which I hate to do but sometimes that is the cheaper route in the long run. If you know of a good shop I would probably take it in and at least let them diagnose it. You can then choose whether or not you want them repairing it. The problem will be finding someone who works on them and knows what they are doing. The average repair shop that wrenches on gas engines 95% of the time is likely going to be as lost as you or I would be.
  3. Many will make a big deal about the nomination of Janet Yellen to be the next Fed Chair, but the reality is, as long as we tolerate the Federal Reserve System and its flawed monetary policy, there will be no policy change at the Federal Reserve. Notably absent from the discussion surrounding the debt ceiling and the government shutdown is the fact that the federal government would not be able to borrow the money it needs to finance its wars, bailouts, and entitlement programs if the Federal Reserve did not continue to buy government debt.
