Default 06 ram wont start no bus help PLEASE

Ok I have a 06 3500 Dodge it is a pile of junk wont start I am getting code (no bus) on the dash it wont turn over headlights wont work, windows, locks, wipers, ect.
So I ordered a power control module (PCU) the one on the side of the drivers side of my cummins block from junk yard.
still nothing so called a lock smith as dodge dealers were very litle help Lock smith said : I needed key and ring on column to make it run so orderd mathing column from junk yard. T
Truck now had head lights elect. windows ect worked for a few seconds also the doors would lock and unlock with the new keys but then the starter clicked and wouldnt turn over for one reason battery cable was too loose and two the securety light comes on again. I think I am missing one computer that I need off the other truck a ecu? something that is telling the new pcm and senser in column that that there is a security issue.

please help this is a 06 I have spent over $17000.00 in repairs on this POS got rid of a 05 3500 and it was junk too. No more dodges for me.
I need to get this one running and unload it thanks. Brett

when you put the new PCM in, did you have it flashed with your mileage, VIN, vehicle info, etc? if not, it wont work. i had the same NO BUS problem in my old durango. got a PCM from a place online. they flashed it with all my info before sending it out. worked great.

i had a 2000 with the 5.9. got the PCM from http://www.solopcms.com/

they were really great guys. called me up within 30 minutes of placing the order online to verify info. and had it shipped out the same afternoon.

these dodge PCMs are really finicky to say the least. regardless of what year you have, it doesnt surprise me that a pcm not flashed with your vehicles info isnt working right.
