Have you tested fuel pressure? You can test it right at fuel rail and should be around 49psi...

Assuming you've replaced the crank sensor. The # for the PCM you want is the # after where it says Chrysler in your pic. You can get a PCM with the same #'s with the last 2 letters being different. Yours has AD at the end . That's the important part of the P/N. If you find a PCM with the same #'s and those 2 letters at the end are AF for instance, it should work good enough to get you to the dealer so they can flash the PCM.


And btw, I can't find it right now, but Merc225 has posted cross reference #'s for the PCM's. Maybe he will chime in.

I have swapped the crank senor. It's getting worse like shutting off every 15mins I drive and it's taking longer for it to turn back on.


Is there anyone on here that repairs them?

Need to find out what's missing when it won't start, spark, or fuel.

PCM could be bad or you have a defective crank sensor.

Default Mine Stalls too

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 also. It quits very often but starts right back up. It runs like there is someone turning the truck off and on then it dies. I have replaced the fuel pump assy and also the computer. There are no codes showing on the dash. Help

I have posted cross reference number's for pcm's but I have lost that sheet due to a HDD failure and a bad pc opt for not backing his info up.

I will see if I can find it again.
