Is Your 2014 Dodge Ram Experiencing Engine Problems?
A failing Engine Control Module (ECM), often called the engine computer, can bring your hardworking 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 to a grinding halt. This critical component is the brain of your 5.7L Hemi engine, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions control. When it starts to fail, it can cause a wide range of confusing and frustrating issues that can be difficult to diagnose. You might be facing stalling, poor performance, or a truck that won’t start at all, leaving you stranded and costing you valuable time and money.

From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2014 Dodge 3500 with the 5.7L Hemi come in on a tow truck. The owner had spent a small fortune chasing a random misfire and stalling issue. He had replaced all the spark plugs, ignition coils, and even the crankshaft position sensor. The truck would run fine for a few minutes, then start sputtering and die. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we noticed intermittent communication loss with the ECM and erratic data from the ignition coil control circuits. The problem wasn’t the parts he replaced; it was the ECM itself. The internal drivers that fire the coils were failing intermittently. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and the truck fired up and ran perfectly. It’s a classic case where diagnosing the root cause—the brain—saves you from replacing perfectly good parts.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with communication error codes (like U0100) or internal processor fault codes.
- ✔ Engine stalls unexpectedly or runs rough at idle.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy and engine performance.
- ✔ The vehicle will not start, even though the battery and starter are good.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Seemingly unrelated electrical issues or warning lights on the dashboard.
- ✔ Misfire codes that persist even after replacing plugs and coils.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer truly “Plug & Play”?
Yes. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This ensures it has the correct software and security information for your specific truck. Once installed, the vehicle will start and run without any further programming required.
Where is the ECM located on my 2014 Dodge Ram?
On the 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 5.7L Hemi engine, the Electronic Control Module (ECM) is typically located in the engine bay, on the right-hand (passenger) side, mounted near the firewall or inner fender.
What information do you need to program the module?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. You can typically find the VIN on your dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance documents.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The engine computer works in constant communication with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). If the ECM is sending faulty data or has communication errors, it can directly cause poor shifting performance. Replacing a faulty ECM often resolves these related issues.
Do I need to return my old engine computer?
Please check the specific terms of the sale on the product page. Some modules may have a core charge, which is a refundable deposit that is returned to you once we receive your old, repairable unit back.
