Exclamation Help in Seattle

No more garages, High priced mechanics. You forum members are it. I don't care how far off the wall it is, so come ahead and enlighten me
My story begins with the purchase at a lot that no longer is around. A 1999 Dodge Durango that burned up the PCM with in two weeks. It's fixed until now and this is the twist, It is sporadic,no way to tell when it will happen. It will just die. At highway speed. On city streets, pulling up to a stop sign, In a parking cue at a burger joint, In front of the supper market. rain, shine, frigid cold or warm spring days. I may have just started it or it might go for hours and hours. Then blahhhhh roll it to the shoulder. Try to start it and it turns over and over etc.... . All lighted displays on dash are lighted. fans, horn, lights, windows everything works. If I wait for a few minutes(2-5) it might start, but then again it could be the next day before it starts again. Fuel pump has been changed.
It acts like a device that gets hot and causes ASD, just not all the time.

Ug,

Unplug the PCM and ensure there is no corrosion and plug it back in.

CheapChic, start your own thread. You post has nothing to do with the OP's situation.

OP/Jeff c, assuming the PCM is connected cleanly, your PCM is overheating. Place a sealed zip lock bag of ice on it (if possible) and watch it light up and drive along. It's shot at this point so replace the PCM.
