Any chance you can take a pic of the part you are talking about and post it?

I will get a pic and post it. The part I need is not either of the coil packs. The ignition control module (ICM) is mounted to the fender by the coolant bottle. Small silver box with a harness plugged into it. It controls the 4 coil pack.
Thanks.

Default Found a needle in a haystack

After calling ALL junk yards in a Tri-State Area, we found a junk yard in a TINY town that had the 95 Dodge. We described the part to him and he went out and got the part. Luckily he didn't know what he had!!! Bought it for $30 and now have a running truck again! We realize how LUCKY we were to stumble upon the part!!! Woo Hoo.

Might wanna keep a spare on hand for those, if you can find them.

Glad it's running again. Enjoy!

any help / advice would be greatly appeciated!
Have you had any luck? I have the same situation. My ignition control module starts failing after engine compartment heats it up. I relocated it to cool air and it quit failing. Just a work around.
I've found modules by part number for a ransom, but don't trust the sources.
I believe it's Mopar #56027879

Used market is going to be your best bet. Mopar discontinued them quite some time ago, and doesn't have any stock. It appears that no aftermarket company ever made them either...... Some folks have rebuilt theirs, but, those are old threads, and even then, they were talking that a fair few of the internal parts are also discontinued....... Updating to a 96-97 OBDII (kinda) system would be another option, but, that's a LOT of work......

Coming up with a replacement circuit isn't that tricky. The two signals coming from the computer are coil select and a shared firing pulse. Simple discrete logic can route the pulse to the correct coil. Any OTC coil driver can then be used to interface each coil.
Planning to put one together for my lucky 94 Ram 2500 4x4 V10.
