The Dodge dealer tells me the ECM is bad in my 24 V Cummins and I don't doubt him from the way it acted. The dealer quoted a new ECM at $2500. I have replaced ECM's in N14 Cummins truck engines that ran that much money too so I suppose the $2500 figure is close to being right. A used one is hard to find and might not be able to be flashed and reprogrammed right.
On the net I see ECM's for this pickup advertised for $746 ready to go, plug and play. I give them my VIN number and they send me the ECM. That's quite a difference in price and I tend to be a little leery of the ECM's advertised on the net. Do any of you guys have any experience with internet bought cheap ECM's? Are they good or not so good? This ECM in the pickup was making the engine run wild when I started it hot, not good! It's like putting the pedal to the floor, starting the engine and holding it there. I don't want this happening again, a $2500 ECM is cheaper than what could happen when it runs wild.
