  • (Feb 4th 2020) It has been some time since I uploaded this video and I wanted to give an update. I still have the ram van but I still continue to have problems here and there relating to what I found back then. After some challenging investigating I ended up having to replace the computer on the van. Some symptoms that starting pointing me in that direction was my Voltage meter was going up beyond 18v. I replaced the alternator (because the voltage regulation is tied into it) and shortly after I still have that problem. Alternator was tested and good. battery good. Additionally, the actuator that moves the air from one position to another (located behind the glove box) burned out. The new resistor I put in (twice!) burned out. Many things were burning out/getting hot. It was the computer. I eventually couldn't start the van and thats when it was confirmed at the shop the computer was bad. 2 months and $1200 later I finally got in a refurbished computer shipped in from some shop in Florida and had it installed by a family friends auto electric shop. fast forward 14 months... I had to replace the computer AGAIN. Come to learn from other dodge ram van owners, there is a flaw in the design of the vehicle about where the computer is located... well its right above the engine again anybody who knows a little something about electronics, Heat = bad. It's a common issue from these vans to have computer problems. In fact, I went to the 4 closest pick a part locations and over 2 dozen eligible vans (only the 5.9 engine computers i could use) ALL the computers were immediately snatched (this tells me its a desirable item). The auto electricians tell me is a hit/miss if gonna last a while but they said they recall seeing similar vans multiple times about a year apart... I could do some things to decrease the heat that builds up in the engine compartment, but I've decided to sell it. only 90k original miles and i feel i've put too much time and $ into it... adding the poor MPGs it just does not make $ sense to keep it for my family. Its a great ride for the room it has but reliability is a must for me right now so I decided to sell. I hope this video helps you, if it saves you time or money, all I hope for is you pay it forward in some way. thank you and have a great day!
