    Voltage regulator in PCM fried??

    300$ wasn't too steep to get it running, but I'm an idiot for making the problem. I live in the middle of nowhere so the internet is my best option for parts. Thanks guys. I'll post tomorrow.

    Voltage regulator in PCM fried??

    Voltage regulator in PCM fried??

    I checked the 13mm nut on the alternator and it was 12.4 volts with engine dead and 13.5 while running. The battery light keeps flashing along with the CEL. I'll check the code tomorrow when I get a chance. Just thought someone might have an idea what to check. The PCM fuse and ASD fuses...

    Voltage regulator in PCM fried??

    Hello everyone... After spending all day researching 4th gen ram charging systems I have a problem to share. Yesterday, I finished rebuilding (cam, lifters, etc) my 2015 ram 1500 and everything was charging correctly upon completion. However, two nuts on my rocker arm assembly were making a...

    imbalance during idle

    Hey guys I need some help please. Truck is idling roughly in a manner that feels like something is out of balance. It happens only during the lowest range of rpms and the symptoms disappear as soon as the accelerator is pressed. Definitely not spark plug missing because the imbalance is much...
