It depends on the year. Dodge dropped the "Dodge" from the 2014 Ram 1500, and according to most owners, there's been transmission issues ever since, with a noticeable bump when release the brake or accelerating. This isn't specific to the powertrain control module (PCM), but related to its functionality. Typical issues include the check engine light illuminating, usually with a P0601 code, from the PCM getting dodgy, and you can also see engine stalling and other performance issues; heck sometimes the truck won't even start at all. Replacing the PCM is costly: Labor's only around $50, since it's pretty accessible, but parts run to almost $900, making it pricey when it fails.

Might wanna get all your facts straight first. Hard to trust someone that fails to deliver that. Dodgedropped the dodge name from the 2014 year is false. Lets try again.
