I heard you were a little rough with your "screwdriver"!:hehe:
 
Cheese and Rice. Smart ass #1 and #3 both chime in. :bang

Ever seen a #1 phillips head? :hehe:
 
O, God. Can someone please delete the last 4 posts? This is embarrasssing.

bar ass ing :hehe:

$334.95

I ship them mine overnight, they rebuild it with new parts and test, ship it back overnight. I should have it Mon or Tue. Lifetime warranty.

Best I could find.

do they test it first to see if anything's wrong with it?

I don't think there's a test for a screwdriver hole in the circut board...:hehe:
 
I would take in your alternator to have it tested while you are waiting for your pcm if you are getting that high of A/C voltage on that circuit is sounds like you might have lost a diode in the alternator.Which could explain your computer taking a dump I would hate to see you burn up another pcm if this is the case.I have actually seen enough A/C interference from an alternator to cause the classic dodge lock up problems.Just a thought besides it will give you something to do while you are waiting for a pcm.
 
So long as they stand behind it I think you are making the right call Jory.

As for the funky voltage I'd guess nothing, never checked to see what the baseline voltage is.

No. I didn't see one. I had my smock on, my ESD wrist-strap, and opened it up on my ESD certified work desk and then did that. I should have just shuffleed my feet on shag carpet, opened it with a chainsaw and zapped every CMOS chip in the blasted thing.:bang

As far as the alternator, yes, that is a great idea. Test is free and another PCM is not. Thanks for the idea, tlse1.

Billy, I don't have anything that tells me what to expect on those wire but I'm guessing it has to be DC coming from the PCM. I just read DC and AC both. I originally thought it came from the alternator to the PCM and there aren't any diodes on those lines (so I assumed AC) but now realizing the PCM tells it when to charge, I see that it is an input to the alternator that is going all over the place. I did check the voltage at the batteries and it was charging 14.2 VDC. But it don't hurt to test for free!!!

That's what Jory's wife said the first time she saw him naked....:hehe:
 
Here now....that was totally...uncalled......funny as sh*t!!! :hehe: Morsel! :hehe: That's what I'm gonna name it. I may not hit bottom but I'll bang the hell out of the sides. :D

I'd have it Tues or Wed from freaking Florida! Why can't ANYTHING be in Oklahoma???? Maybe we don't have enough immigrants to do all the work. :D

:clap: Classic
With all the immagrants in Texas, you would think that was the closest you can get.

I found a place in Houston or Dallas, can't remember, but they had no stock on dodge parts right now so they gave me a number in couckamunga ranch something or another California. I'm sure "new mexico" california would have had some had they answered the dang phone. How can you have a business and not answer the phone? They were off the list pretty fast.
 
Let me know how everything turns out, as I have a 02 truck that has similar problems. Except my cluster works fine but the tach does jump to 2k while in park and the motor shuts off.
 
http://www.dodgeecu.com/ can bench test the modules unlike the stupid dealers who have to have the truck. Send them your modules and for I think $85.00 they will test them. If they are bad, they'll send you a new one, if they are good, you are only out the setup charge instead of throwing a new module in and finding it is really wasn't that one. ECM's PCM's they do it all.
