Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Okay I have 1998 Dodge Durango 5.9. The thing is
just eating ECMs like crazy been through 4 different
ones now and the last one only lasted a week and
left me stranded. Can anyone help me and figure

Check your charging system. Make sure the alternator is not overcharging. Check the PCM grounds. For a remanufactured unit, Cardone is your best bet, in my opinion. I've never had a problem with a Cardone rebuilt anything! Does the PCM need to be programmed using your VIN? Some do. Hope that helps! Jim
