problem #2

May 261999

Ram 1500 4WD

  • miles
My truck would not start. First I was told it needed a new battery, then a fuel pump and finally a new ECU. It is impossible for all of these components to fail simultaneously while the vehicle is parked and shutdown. I was told by the parts man at dallas Dodge that the ecus are designed to fail prmaturely. Another customer also stated that the same computer in my turck is installed in a number of chrylser products and that it fails when other components fail (in his case when the ABS failed).
