i need a computer for my 1992 auto truck. where is the best place to look? seems by my research they have to be sent out to get repaired.

 

Unless you can find a used one somewhere. There are a few hoarders on this forum that might be able to help you. Otherwise, your options are to run overdrive with a switch (see the FEQ section) or with a stand alone like the unit I use for my 47RH conversion.

 

ya i already put in a switch, but the grid heater system does not work at all anymore. thanks

 

I haven't used my grids for nearly 10 years. (Not really that cold here on the coast).

Should be able to jump the solenoid with a basic momentary switch.

 

*****, anyone know what it cost to get our 91-92 computer's fixed (repaired)??

coffee's ready, whosdunit.

 

Great thread here on how to de-computerize your 1st gen.....https://www.ramchargercentral.com/th...-dodge.176585/

 

thanks for that, i am not good at electronics at all. but i want to be able to bypass some of the problems. i am in the process of selling my 3/4. it needs a computer. that bieng said i want to keep my one ton and totally fix it up so hence wouldlike to do some good updates.

 

has anyone sourced out ECM s from other dodge vehicles that would work in our 1992 trucks, or at least most components work?

ya i noticed that ben doing lots of hunting seems no supply, only repair and return., think i may have to do some upgrades and pypass a few things especially the charging circuit.

 

The only 100% match for your PCM would be another Dodge Cummins truck with an auto that was a '92/'93.
You COULD use a '92/'93 Cummins truck that had a manual in it, but you will lose the info. that make the transmission shift into O.D.

Finding the proper PCM would be the fastest and easiest way, but they have gotten hard to find and not cheap.

 

ya thanks for that i have done a lot of searching and your rite vaery hard to come by. i put one in out of a standard , for some reason it does not work well? dont know its history, or maybe i have some other problems.

 

Was that PCM an 91.5? If so it will not work.

Or do you know it came from a '92/'93?

 

you know i think it was a 1992 but it was a long time ago that i parted it out so you may be rite perhaps it was a 1991 1/2

 

When messing with the PCM, it need s to be an exact match, or stuff will not work.
