somewhere along the line, my PCM is shorting out my switches in the truck. the lates is the tps the dealer told me, after replacing the clockspring switch and brake switch.

the problems just keep on .

I think there are hundreds of people on this and other forums that would disagree with you. If you want to go on a Ram forum and ask questions and get help, that's one thing (and would be highly supported here). If all you want to do is bad mouth Rams, you got the wrong audience and will likely not find much sympathy for your issues. You also stated "after the accident". Not sure what was involved with this accident, but anytime a vehicle goes through any kind of bad accident, it is not uncommon to expect lingering issues.

Also, your play on words by calling your Ram a lamb is just stupid. A lamb is a young sheep. A ram is a male sheep or goat. So, are you trying to tell us your truck is young? A better term to use in your case would be wethers, which is a castrated ram, or even ewe, which is a female. Both of these would indicate that your truck has no *****, which seems to be the case.

Sorry for all your troubles. Perhaps it would just be best to sell and leave your headache behind.

As for your problem... You always say the PCM is shorting out the 'switches'. Maybe if you provided more details and fewer insults people would be more inclined to help.

Did it ever occur to you to run a new wire when something shorts out all the time? The TPS wire is probably pinched somewhere from your accident, along with many others (according to your rants). Take it one step at a time, buy a multi-meter and a spool of wire. You could rebuild your harness or even make one from junkyard parts. I bet you could fix it with the right mindset. Allstate isn't gunna do it for you.
