Hello Forum, this is my first post and I have a few questions that I have not been able to ascertain online and I have heard conflicting views from people here on the street. Soooo...here I go. I recently acquired a 94' Dodge RAM 1500, 318, V8 magnum. The truck is in awesome shape, no rust, strong, quiet engine, good trans, great interior...etc. The issue I ran into is that the truck stalls...not a bogged down, sputtering, engine stall. I am cruising along and the RPM'S just drop. I pull over and start it back up. It could be 30 miles or 30 inches before it does it again. I know this problem is covered extensively online, and I am not asking for advice on this. I have buddy of who is a mechanic and has a garage, he and I replaced the fuel pump, coil, crank sensor, cam sensor, cap, rotor, plugs and wires. I even bought a new computer to no avail. So after all this, the conclusion that I have a serious electrical problem on my hands was where we ended up. I have a 96' Ram...nearly identical...1500 , 318, V8 magnum, for parts...we already disassembled the whole 96' and I kept everything worth keeping. My ultimate question is, is the computer and wiring harness going to be compatible with my 94?? Both are automatic, btw...forgive me if this is a foolish question, but I really haven't found a definitive answer as of yet. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks...
