Pcm has been replace for the 2nd time since the original one. The dealer has sent out the PCM for reprogramming. It was returned and the PCM does not function properly. If they can not find a used one, the truck is totally worthless. Dodge had stopped producing the PCM. Because of this dodge is forcing me to replace a perfectly good truck except for the PCM. Because the truck was driven in california except for the last 4 years, there is no rust. There has been no recall. I don't feel I should have to buy a new/used truck because dodge does not want to make the PCM. They are producing vehicles knowing the vehicle can't be fixed after a certain amount time.

1.) after opening the hood the rubber strip running across the top edge of the firewall (where back of hood meets) may become dislodged and fall onto the turbocharger housing. 2.) this occurs almost every time hood is opened. The last time I had to open the hood it was dark and I did not notice that it had become detached again when I closed the hood. 3.) since the rubber had caught on fire I removed it and allowed it to burn itself out on my driveway. The last time it came in contact with the turbo I was able to notice it before it actually had caught on fire, this time I was not so lucky.
