Is Your 2014 Dodge Ram Experiencing Engine Problems?
If your 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 5.7L HEMI engine is suddenly running rough, stalling, misfiring, or displaying a persistent Check Engine Light, the root cause might be a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the brain of your truck’s engine, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to emissions controls and transmission shifting. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating issues that can be difficult to diagnose.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2014 Ram 3500 in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. It had an intermittent misfire on cylinder 3 that would come and go. He had already replaced the spark plug, ignition coil, and even the fuel injector, but the problem persisted. After hours of diagnostics, we traced the issue back to the ECM itself. The driver circuit for the #3 ignition coil was failing intermittently under load. A simple swap with one of our pre-programmed modules had the truck running perfectly in under 15 minutes, saving the customer from another expensive trip to the dealership and further incorrect parts replacements.
