Figured I would update you all. I called cardone today and the tech I talked to was very straight forward. I no sooner got the code "p0601" out of my mouth and he immediately said it was a faulty board and to return it. I said, ok thanks for your help
So that answers that. Even so, I went over to dodge today and talked to one of the techs who had helped me before and asked if it could be caused by anything else besides a bad pcm and he said, not really. But he said he would take care of me again for free once I got the new computer to program the vin and mileage in.
Anyway the warranty replacement pcm is comming in thursday afternoon. Awesome!
Oh and as a side note, I began thinking. The only thing I did that day before the computer threw the CEL was I was messing with the 4 wheel drive. I haven't used it in a year so the linkages always get a bit rusty and its a hassel to get it engauged sometimes. Figured I would get it moving free again so when I need it, it won't be an issue. Well it was the next day I went to go wash the truck I noticed the check engine light. Surprisingly enough.. I went to dodge like I mentioned earlier and as were ready to plug the drb scan tool up, the check engine light is no longer on. Interesting.... drove around a while, it stayed off. Turned the truck on and off a few times... still off. So for shits and giggles, I decide once im in my parking space to throw it in neutral, turn the truck off, and put her in 4wd. It didn't want to engauge right away but she grabbed. 4wd light came on. I shut the truck back off, I put her back in neutral, pulled it back out of 4lo and then started it back up and take a guess what happened. CEL back on again for the p0601 code. Hmmm... When they flashed the pcm do they have my truck listed as a 2wd? Guess we'll find out. Thats one of the first things ill check after installing is the 4wd coincidence.
