Good afternoon folks,
After using the search, mr google and the service book. I still can't figure out what's going on with the truck. I have a 1996 dodge ram 2500 with the 360 gas engine. After having the compression test done, and it reading 80 on all but 2 cylinders. I had changed the motor out and it really needed a new heart anyways.
I got a 360 from the same year Indy truck. Good clean low mile engine. It went in with minor difficulty. The issue now is, when I try to start it, it'll start up just fine run for 10 or 20 seconds and die. While it runs the generator light comes on. I've double and triple checked the wiring diagram as well as, but can't figure it out. While I had the motor out, I replaced the crank sensor, wires, cap,rotor. pcm was reprogrammed 6 months ago. But with it being a different engine but same size do I have to get it reprogrammed?
