Q: tell them you want a new pcm and your old fpm installed i have a 2001 ram 1500 with a 5.2l that was giving me some starting problems i felt it was fuel so i did some basic checks such as check for fuel rail pressure there wasnt any checked fuel pump relay it was good so i call an have the truck towed to the dealer for diagnosis. they said it was my fuel pump module so i asked them to replace it. the next day when i picked it up and in the process of driving home approx 3 miles it stalls and dies. i call the dealer and he sends a tow truck and we go back to the dealers for more diagnosis. two days later they tell me its my pcm. wow 80000 miles on my truck and the fuel pump and pcm happened to go out at the same time. coincidence or not i feel not... barstow ed .

rq wrote i am thinking of buying a dakota but i hear that they are real gas hogs. is this consistant with the experience of the members of this groups thanks rq yes and no. my truck gets 12 in town and 16 on the freeway 80mph+. 18-19 on the backroads with speeds around 60mph. but it can tow 6000#+ its a 4x4 its quick stable and comfortable. if capability is your major concern buy the dakota. if fuel mileage is your primary concer buy a ranger. lifes full of trade offs. -- ..bob 1997 hd fxdwg - turbocharged! 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - finally on the road! .

dallas tx. certain commercial vehicles such as buses are exempt from emissions testing and i believe also certain geographic locations. also vehicles made before certain dates around 1968 or so are exempt. martin .
