I'm going to replace the crank sensor. Amazon has them for $16 and change. Regular price is $50, it's a great deal.

My 2K 5.9 had similar symptoms and it ended up being the PCM. I replaced it with one from Auto Computer Exchange for about half the price of a new one and, it's run fine since.

Good luck,
Sonny

I had the same problem on my V8 Ram Van. I wiggled the right most connector and it worked for a few days. Then the "no bus" - no start message; Wiggled again - okay for a few days...... Eventually figured out that there is a bad connector in the PCM. Ordered a new one from Auto Computer Exchange - installed it - everything works 100% again

Default Codes

How do you stop throwing parts at the problem when the computer won't give you a code to fix the problem ???
