| 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Van 5.2L No Start VIN: 2B6HB11YXY I am going to call this one fixed even though we now have a possible alternator field circuit issue. The old PCM was definitely dead.

I do not want to badger him, but I will find out how this is going when I s... Trouble codes: 3340 (Ign coil 5), 3330 (Ign coil 4), 3320 (Ign coil 3), 3310 (Ign coil 2), 3300 (Ign coil 1), 3200 (Ign coil faulty signal). |
