Hey Guys, 


<<For a List of vendors who have supplied junk parts or didn't stand behind their products....see the bottom of the article.>>
pepsi71ocean here. I decided to finally write this article up after another round of people with issues with reman companies.  So a while ago back in 10/2015 I shorted out my PCM with a botched rebuild on my Alternator(I forgot to add a sealing washer!)  As a result, after replacing the defective alternator I still had no charging on the alternator. I went hunting for a re builder for my PCM. I was quoted almost $800 for a new blank from Dodge, and that didn't include programming.  A friend of mine on Facebook who runs a Diesel Rebuild shop in the Midwest forwarded me this company here.

 

<<List of Verified and Reliable PCM/ECM Re-builders>>
I have put the company in table format, but If you have another one you used then message me and I'll add the Info.

1. AUTOCOMPUTER SPECIALIST: I was referred to them by my friend Stanley. In the end I believe the price for the rebuild was about $350. I called them, they emailed me the form to fill out with a brief description of the problem, then shipped my PCM to them. And when they opened it up they also sent me a photo and let me know what the issue was. Now they also gave me the list of possible wire issues, but I also knew that I was almost sure it was a botched alternator rebuild that I did on the one NAPA alternator.  Here is the photo they sent me below.  Total Turn time for me was 5 days and that included the shipping to and from their place in Florida.

I also sent out my ECM o be rebuilt in Ocober of 2021, wih 140,000 miles on the truck. I had an another alternator start to go south.
To date I know of 4 other Dodge Cummins trucks running rebuild PCM's Although Stanley said he has sent out a dozen PCM/ECM's to them over time for customers from his shop, and that includes some medium duty stuff.
UPDATE:

 

2. Diesel System Services: Referred by mopar1973member Bobalos. Main contact at DSS is Steven Bruce.. He used to work for Cummins. Member has verified ECM still runs.

 

3.  Reman Auto Electronics:  Referred by mopar1973member GSP7. Reman Auto Electronics is a subsidiary of Flight Systems Electronics Group. Recommendation by Cummins Fleet Mechanic as well.

 

4. Crites Car Computers: Referred by mopar1973member Ho$$. Currently I am seeing confirmation that it is not Crites Core Company, Inc.

 

5. ECM Repair 1: Referred by CumminsForum member indy1k, and

 

6. SIA Electric: Referred by CumminsForum member chansey

 

 

NOTES: If you do send me a company, name the number of miles/years you have on your rebuild, and if they were easy to work with or not. If you could a short summary would be good as well.

<<From here below is a list of vendors who have failed to supply good product, or didn't stand behind their product>>
Below here is a list of Vendors/re builders that have supplied problematic rebuilds, and have not made attempts to rectify the problem.  I didn't have to do much searching online to discover lists of complaints.
