Cool Bucking Bronco tried to self-destruct on me

When my PCM started to go it was nasty and replaced two times first unit went bad in one month second one lasted my Dakota was like a Bucking Bronco tried to self-destruct on me.

Never saw any codes strange

The dealer replaced the bad first CPM for free even though they didnt install it it was MOPAR so they did it for free how nice of them.
