Dodge Computer

[The Grebe]

Does anyone know where a person could get a computer for a 2001 Dodge ram 1500? Seems that this is a rare breed and the factory doesn't even have em?

It's something that never goes out according to everyone I've talked to...but mine went out! I had it rebuilt for alot of scratch and it went out again about 3 weeks later.

First time my truck was in the shop for 6 weeks, this time it has been in there for 3 weeks so far. Good thing I have a couple more to fall back on!

If this doesn't get rectified, I'm going to seek a refund and get another computer for the truck, I just don't know where as of yet? Any help out there?

Grebe, email me and I will give you some options.

I bought a used ford computer from John's in Blaine years ago. Was cheap, and worked for sure until I sold the truck. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, we tried all those places to no avail...they went online and didn't have any luck.

I got a response from 4wanderingeyes and he put me on to some good info that I hope I don't have to use....hopefully my computer will come back and be in good shape and all will be well. (I hope! )

Dunno if the trucks are the same as the cars, but seems I recall something about all the computers being a matched set, so to speak. If the replacement doesn't have the same matching numbers (like serial numbers) as the other computers on that specific vehicle, it won't work and / or the other computers will be locked out too.

Hopefully someone can clarify that further or dispel the rumor.

They can be programmed to work
