Default PCM burnt out tonight

I just recently downloaded a new tune 2 days ago, and now my PCM is burnt out. I tried to re-flash the PCM, but I had no luck. error code P0606. I wonder who has the best prices on a new PCM?

Get in touch with Jesse. He can either tell you how to recover the PCM, recover it for you or sell you one at a good price.

What tuning tool do you use?

You didn't burb anything. Error code - P0606 PCM Internal Communication Interrupted.

If you have a decent program like HP Tuners, just flash the computer, That error means that the first time you loaded your program it was somehow corupted.
