Archived Dead ecm

[Hayride]

Hello to the smoking section ! My 01 went into limp mode and I had the local Dodge dealer test it and they are saying the ecm is burned up. Thats a cool $1300. Is this a common problem and is there a cheaper alternative ? I had put a TST box on it and a new lift pump but the engine light would come on and now she`s crippled . I called TST and they said they`ve never known a fuel box to ruin an ecm. I need to deal with it tommorrow . Any help ??

DM has just put Hayride into sunday (all day) internet mode. He'll come up for air in about 6 hours... ... ...

Let us hope Gary is wrong!

Maybe Rock-in-rammer can forward mine to Hayride (ECM signed of course) and we can see where the way-ward ECM ends it journey!

Maybe it is a build date thing.

We need to hear from Marco to see if they are blowing caps or transistor traces.

Good luck Hayride. Mike
