I already did. Very good resource....at some point we all pay, one way or another. In the realm of vehicle info, I like the resources that have correct info as it ends up being cheaper in the long run.
Considering the other massive amounts of money we all put into our cars, you're gonna bitch about $30 a year? Gimme a break!

Do a search on my name, i wrote up one 3-4 years ago that was great.

edit - scratch that, it only goes back to 2008. I'll see if I have the write up at home, check back around 7:00 EST.

FWIW, it's about a 2-3 hour job. Remove the hose clamps inside the engine bay around the PCM, 2 of them. They go right to the firewall, directly connect to the heater core. Inside the car you have to undo the glove box so you can get to where the heater core is, same as replacing the BCM.
