I suspect they are far more witting than they've been given credit for.
In any case, they need help, and probably aren't interested in having their help request thread hijacked by someone else's personal grievances.
It sounds as if they've had a shop doing periodic maintenance for quite some time, but now when the Jeep needs something beyond that, they are in over their heads, and tossing parts at it as their computer aided diagnostic program suggests, rather than testing things to determine the actual problem. This is evidenced by their wanting to replace PCM (Gas) rather than ECM (diesel).
Try googling diesel tuner shops in Houston area. Get the numbers of the ones with the most ratings and over 3 star average.
Call around and ask now many Jeep diesels they work on.
If they say "Jeep makes diesels?" You probably should scratch them off.
If they say "Tons! we work on them all the time!" They're probably lying and should be avoided as well.
If they say "we get one in once in a while" or something like that, that's more of what I would look for.
If you still come up empty, you might check your personal messages, (if you haven't already) and make some inquiries.
Good Luck!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I wrote down everyone's suggestions and began calling around.
There have been 3 major life events in the last two months, that combined with this issue, it really was just a punch in the gut. I was very much overwhelmed. After writting down everything I just haven't been back on at all.
After speaking to a few places, I found a shop who ran tests for all the potential problems, and they came back with the ECM being the issue. They ordered a new one, found someone who could correctly program it, and it started right back up no problems at all. Just got it back this afternoon!
