Glad you solved your problem.
Were these new or used ECM'S ? I would not know where to look if I ever needed one.
Thanks for the fix update.

ARRRRRR!!!
Spoke to soon. I drove about 5 miles and now she spits and shudders has dead pedal the temp gauge fluctuates from cold to hot and back and forth. Random jump in rpms. If this was happening with new ECM's I would have to think it was something else causing the issue but have been getting remans so I still think I am getting bad ECM's.

How about getting a reflash from a Dodge dealer?

I was wondering about that. The new ecm seems to have issues with heat. If I let it sit and cool down it will operate as it should for a good 10minutes but after that all bets are off. We tried reading the codes with a scan tool and it showed nothing but when cycling the key I had a ton.

My ECM replacement was over $1100 for the part and it was a Chrysler labeled one.

Not sure if the reman's are a good deal...

Well if it would have worked the first time it would have been $500 and lots of down time. They sent me the second one free of charge but this is getting old.

ECM #4 still not the fix. Either the company that is building my ECM's is REALY bad at it or I have something else going on. In this video I only turned the key I am not even in the truck. Also just before the video I turned the key and the wait to start light stayed on for 30-40 seconds. It's 90deg. Here
