Ok sounds good now I just need to get a PCM. Anyone know where to get one or just bring it to dealer they want $650 for the PCM and install

Both my oil pressure and temp gauges went out on my truck so I took it to the dealer and they said my Pcm was bad. Problem is manual says the power for those 2 gauges comes from Ecm. can it be the Pcm? Thanks for the help Mark.

UPDATE I got a manual and read on testing the ECT sender and there is no power to it with the key on! sender shows a 117 ohms book says to have ECM checked. My ? can the ECM be reflashed or do I need to replace it.
