Attention: TDR Forum Junkies To the point: Click this link and check out the Front Page News story(ies) where we are tracking the introduction of the 2025 Ram HD trucks.
my 2001 ram3500 cumming 5spd 4X4 has developed an issue where it is running along smoothly and ill suddenly buck like engine shutoff for a fraction of a second. this sometimes only happens once and sometimes it can happen 2 or 3 times over a couple minutes. there is no consistency in when this...
Just got off the phone with Smarty. Their engineer stated that having the auto programming would cause a lot of codes so that possibility is out. I guess I look for a ecm I can test it with unless I can find a way to read and change the ecm data directly.
I’m still looking for thoughts.
I am starting to wonder the same thing. i will be calling Smarty tomorrow to verify that the file they sent me was the right one. even though their help was two years ago and the problem is still going on it would at least give me an possible fix instead of condemning a perfectly fine ECM. It...

RESOLVED:

thought i would update this as i have been fighting it all winter. i have been getting errors regarding the right sensor communication issue. i have replaced it twice in the last month. after replacing it i started getting intermittent brake and ABS lights on. I pulled the sensor again and...
really interesting as my speedometer has never stopped working through this whole deal.
got the rebuilt controller back today and installed. no change so i guess its back to square one.
back to running down wiring and connections.
Well I checked the RF sensor and it showed open resistance so i replaced it. The rear sensor showed 1020ohm resistance (about the same as the new LF sensor. found i was a little low on PS fluid so i topped it off, then checked every connector under the hood. now when i start up the light goes...
