Is Your 2004 Durango Running Rough?
If you’re dealing with frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, stalling, poor fuel mileage, or a no-start condition in your 2004 Dodge Durango 4.7L, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. The ECM is the brain of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it starts to fail, it can cause a wide range of confusing and difficult-to-diagnose problems. This replacement module is the definitive solution to restore your truck’s performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2004 Durango 4.7L come into the shop that was giving the owner fits. It would randomly stall at stoplights and sometimes wouldn’t start at all after being driven. The check engine light was on with a code for ‘loss of communication with TCM’. The owner had already replaced the transmission control module with no luck. After verifying all power and ground circuits to the ECM were solid, we suspected the main computer. We swapped in a pre-programmed 2004 Durango Engine Computer, and the communication codes vanished instantly. The truck ran perfectly, and the stalling issue was completely resolved. It’s a classic case where the central processor’s failure mimics a problem elsewhere in the system.
