Just lost money on this job, same issue with not charging with 2 different alternators. I test probed the connector like you did and got 0 volts on 1 wire but 9v or so on the other. I told him bad pcm. Never have I seen this before. Didn't realize a vehicle could still run with a faulty pcm.
Thank you for the video. I purchased a circuit tester and got the same result. Ordered a PCM and problem resolved. Check engine light stayed on for a cycle (guessing 10-20 mi) and then stayed off.
Changed battery and doing so the alternator started smoking by the wiring?... Changed both battery and alternator but still wont hold a charge?... Both have been changed out 3 x's need some direction 🤔🤔🤔
Yo whats this? & is it something i can install myself? Having these issues. Replaced Pcm, truck worked good for a little while now its back doing it again
I replaced my alternator installed a rebuilt pcm and a new battery still won’t charge. I checked all the wiring with an ohm meter and couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary. What would you suggest next? Thanks
Double check the pcm. Just cause its rebuilt doesn't mean its working, same with the alternator. I've heard of people having issues with replacement pcm
How much is pcm??? 😢 I'm not going like this answer.....I haven't replaced the alternator yet on 2010 dodge ram 1500. But threw code p2503 for low voltage.......😢
98 ram 5.2 not charging. New alternator. Still not charging. Theres a black box attached to top back of alt but manual doesn't even mention it. Could that be bad? What is it? Thx
I have heard similar experiences from other people. Fortunately for me as of this moment i haven't had any problems with them. I guess its a hit or miss
I did a video on this about a year ago. It works, its better than working on the floor. But in my opinion I think it is overpriced for the limitations it has.

Glad the video was helpful
Very informative. Great job
same thing happened with a Chrysler minivan
How much was the PCM?

My alternator started smoking pretty bad too, I’m released the alternator but not the battery and it’s still not charging
What tool is that that you tested the PCM alternator wire, I need to test mine but don’t know what to use.
Power Probe brand circuit tester.
Could you do the same with a jumper wire from the battery?
Technically yes
You can get the remote voltage regulator kit which will resolve this issue or buy an internal regulated alternator which I did for my 01' Cummins.

where can i get an internal regulated alternator
@@jeremiahrobinson3294, Thoroughbred Diesel is where I got mine. Give them a call & see what they can do for you.
, you can install the alternator yourself. Call Thoroughbred Diesel & talk to them.
Does the PCM has to be program to your truck or is plug and play
This was purchased as a plug and play. But normally yes you have to program
@@gautorepair thank you
@@gautorepair where you guys located?
Where can I get a PCM as a plug and play
Flagship1 is where i get them

What other tests dis you do to rule it was the pcm.. I’m having the extra me problem

Did the misfiring ever fix its self?
Yes it did
@@gautorepair thank you just installed today and running good
Glad to hear that the issue is resolved
What do you recommend
98 ram 5.2 not charging. New alternator. Still not charging. Theres a black box attached to top back of alt but manual doesn't even mention it. Could that be bad? What is it? Thx
Its just the electrical housing, mine has the same thing. Nothing to worry about! Check the fuses, check the battery, good luck bud!
i have used flag ship 1 a few time and always have trouble with them i recommend a different place
I have heard similar experiences from other people. Fortunately for me as of this moment i haven't had any problems with them. I guess its a hit or miss
Notice you have a MINI LIFT how does it work? Is it worth investing.

I have a 97 Dodge van 2500,5.2 l, not charging as well. Just installed a new alternator and battery and not charging
Make sure you are getting a signal from the pcm. You may be able to use a test light for that
I have one and the people I got it from have a bunch of weird stuff hooked up. Now it just clicks won’t turn over, batter good starter good
Where did you get the pcm from
Flagship1
by any chance do you have the source where you got the plug and play pcm? thanks
Flagship1
dude, where are you located? I need to bring you my Ram 1500
Miami gardens fl
@@gautorepairdarn it I'm in Jacksonville Florida 😂 could definitely use your expertise
Sometimes the cam or crank sensor needs to be relearned to fix those weird rough running issues
thanks for the info.
Gen light is on.
Relearn computer
Alternators aren't battery chargers
Its wasnt misfire the PCM was reset and relearning
