i took a look at that. i also hooked up an obd1 reader today and its one of the ones where you also hook it up to power from the battery and everything came on asd clicked engine came on and it started a little bit so i think i have a bad ground or power for the pcm

Default 95 ram thinks it’s a 99

I’ve got a 95 ram 1500 5.9 with a complete harness out of a 99 yes odd but it’s ran in the truck for 5 years. I’ve replaced the crank sensor cap rotor button and pickup in the distributor will crank builds fuel pressure
thanks for any feedback

That's gotta be a wiring nightmare, considering how much changed over the years. What year PCM are you using? Will your scanner talk to it? Check engine lite on?

Did you install the OBDII interface to plug into??? Need to know what the PCM is whining about, in order to fix it....I am REALLY surprised someone actually got that to work properly.....
