Anyone enabled the ecm high idle lately?
Call around, talk to the service department. You'll probably talk to a service writer. Ask how much to do it, what there labor rate is. will they do it for less. A half hour of labor is fair. Thursday and Friday are usually the days with the lest amount of work so they may take you in at a reduced rate so the mechanic has something to do. The week between Christmas and New Years is generally a busy time for them.

Sounds like they want at least 1 hour labor. What part of the country is this in. $160 is what high end luxury dealers charge around here.

No cruise control after engine swap 2002 into 1999
You need to compare wire diagrams to see if there is a difference between the two as what was left in the truck and what you replaced. Like @dripleysaid the controls like the brake peddle switch or switches' wiring my be off.

Can't get front brakes to fully bleed
How are the rubber brake hoses, are any of them ballooning under pressure? If not, clamp off the rubber brake lines and see if the peddle still goes to the floor. If it does then a bad master.. If it doesn't then release one side only at a time and repeat to find if it's a bad caliper.

Can't get front brakes to fully bleed
The brake master cylinder may have gone bad, had that happen to me just last week on a customers car. I replaced front brake pads, rear brake pad and rear rotors. I went to pump up the system before road testing and the peddle went to the floor; replaced the master and all was good. Another time a customer said his brake peddle went to the floor. After fooling with this car for a while and talking to the customer he confessed that he took the caliper apart to rebuild to rebuild them. I replaced the front calipers and all was good.

A manual transmission PCM will not work for a auto transmission cruise control that has a vacuum controller.

Most likely one hour labor. Best to call the dealer's service department and ask them.

Finally done it
I've been a mechanic for 50 years and running my mobile repair business since 1994 and learned: Your time is yours to sell. Give the customer the full measure but don't short change yourself. Work on it as if it was your own. If you're unfortunate to have a Keren or Keven as a customer don't be afraid to tell them to pi$$ off. They aren't worth the head ack and there is always someone better to take their place. Do like @JAG1recommends; set time aside for a holiday to decompress and enjoy life. 44

Sorry Everyone I haven't felt like participating much Lately.......
About 20 years ago I was diagnosed (MRI) with a torn meniscus in my right knee. Doc said "I can clean that up by taking the damaged part out." Told him "I'll get back to you." After 6 months to a year, I don't quite remember, no pain and has never come back.. Now, my wife had a torn meniscus 'cleaned out' in one of her knees and later had to have the knee replaced. I had sciatica problems in my left leg along with a degenerating arthritic hip joint and needed a walking cain to get around. I had the hip replaced and no more problems.

- Code questions
The new term manufactures are using for the instrument panel is "Data Information Module" Go figure.- Code questions
No not the injection pump, Check Pin 3 (vio/brn wire) and pin 11 (wht/blk wire) in the data link connector at the left bottom of dash.- From Edge EZ to Quadzilla is there anything I need to know?
That boost elbow you have in the pic is stock so the waste gate is opening at about 18 PSI. The one I installed is set for a max of 30PSI on the HX35. It is from China, Tomtop.com, for about $6. Some other members ordered the part and never got them. - Code questions
