Default 2002 ram - lost power

As stated, 2002 RAM 2500 Cummins - I lost almost all power a month ago - Shop replaced lift pump and fuel pump - no change. A VW Beetle has more getup and go. Now, shop says it's the ECM. No CEL ever came on - ever. They wanted to send it out to have it reprogrammed. Now, no one has the old systems in house. Are they just taking me to the cleaner? With tow charge, I'm over $3000. Need ideas/help.

TIA,
NPPJR

They are guessing, and not very well either... Do they specialize in diesels? If not, might be time to find another shop.

Not necessary, you will probably get actual/better answers there.
