Just picked up my truck, mechanic wasn't there so I didn't get to ask any questions, he did leave the work order on the seat, says they replaced IAC??? :dunno: and the crank sensor as well as the airbox which I turned from a 1 piece airbox into a 2 piece when she backfired, he said he had never seen anything like that before :chuckle:.
$330 out the door, after tossing and turning all night, I'm not complaining about 330. :tup:
IAC=Idle Air Control motor.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Looks like my mechanic get another crack at it on Monday, drove to work yesterday (40 miles round trip) and it seemed to run fine except for 1 little hesitation which seemed like maybe bad gas, then today on some errands it died and before I restarted it I noticed the tach jumping all over the place, luckily she started right back up and got me home.  :dunno:

sounds to me like you might have a mechanic that throws parts at it till its fixed?  Maybe try someone else?  Dealer or elect. specialist.
MAGA!  Again..

Mechanic replaced another sensor, didn't charge me, thinks its fixed :dunno:, I haven't picked it up yet. He said absolutely nothing showed up when he hooked his machine upto it to read codes :bash:. I do have another shop lined up if/when problem returns.
Sucks this has to happen right before archery season, even if it is fixed I'm going to worry when I leave pavement.

Sounds to me like the guy you have it with is trying to make it right with you.  :twocents: It is not at all uncommon that repairing one issue can expose another/more.
