Coolant temp. code cleared after installing new sensor. It didn't change the way that it runs, though.

Only one code now. Depending on which scan tool we use, it says crank/cam sensor intermittant and the other scan tool says something to the effect of not reading cam sensor.

We have also tried a couple of other computers off of some of our parts trucks....we can make it run worse, but not better. However, we don't have any PCM that is an exact match for this truck. Closest we have is from a 99 1500 with a 318, automatic.

All of this for trying to help out an elderly friend. She loaned a guy $3000.00 and she took the truck as collateral (not knowing that the engine was bad). The guy is now in jail for robbing a few stores in town....he won't be much help to get any info from!
