Sudden Acceleration
Well I received the reply from Cummins and here it is:
Summary: 04 Dodge throttle control
Solution:
Thanks for your Email message.
Bill, Dodge chose to handle all service and warranty on the Dodge Ram trucks and their diagnostic tools are the only ones that can be used on their vehicle. Cummins shops do not handle any warranty and the Cummins INSITE tool is not compatible with the Dodge engine controller. It is impossible for us to guess as to what may have caused this malfunction.
The Dodge Ram has a Cummins Electronic Control Module (ECM) on the engine, as well as a Dodge ECM for the chassis and to control the Cummins engine ECM. It could have been something in these ECM's or possibly a wiring harness issue or maybe one of the several sensors that monitor the engine and chassis functions. The throttle pedal is also electronic and works in conjuction with the Dodge ECM.
The issue may never happen again but we can understand your concerns and suggest that you continue working with the Dodge dealer or possible have another dealer check it out or possibly contact Dodge.
For more information about the Dodge product, we suggest you contact
Dodge at "www.4adodge.com" or 1-800-992-1997 (DaimlerChrysler Customer Service).
