[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 666031, member: 2862"] Yeah, fire the mechanic, especially if he's charging the kid for 4 computers. After the first replacement, he should have quit charging. Anyway, this is not common for Dodge trucks, so I'll run off some things to check: 1) grounding issue. There are two ground straps running from the engine/transmission to the frame. Remove and clean them both. 2) alternator issue. Maybe getting some spikes. 3) Pull the wiring harness apart and check for melted wires. That means every wiring harness that has a direct run to the computer. If there is something that isn't working (besides the computer), start with those wires first. Good luck. Electrical issues can be a real bear to sort out. I'd also go back to whoever sold the kid this truck and ask if it had ever happened before. Perhaps they had it happen... Rod [/QUOTE]
