Hi from the UK.

After a huge search I have just got a damaged 2005 SRT-10 Truck.
This is perfect for my new project it only has 11000 miles showing on the clock.
After waiting patiently for delivery I got it in my shop and started basic checks. Everything was great until I went for start up, ignition on hit the button it turned over but no spark ?
So I plugged it in on my diagnostic system, no communication with engine ? I can go into other systems like abs and instruments but I cannot communicate with the engine.
It does come up with some strange faults, front control module-loss of jeep truck engine controller j1850 message, vehicle body style mismatch and missing current vin.
The truck was damaged on the passenger side and the airbags and seatbelts have deployed but I guess it should still start.
The guy did say the battery has been off the truck for ages.
I really want to start the engine as I have a 14 day warranty on the truck.
Any help would be awesome. :confused:
 
The damage was mostly on the rear door. I think it may be the anti theft system, anyway it can be bypassed to check the motor runs ?
 
never heard of a srt-10 throwing a jeep truck engine control code, or a mismatch of vin and body style sounds like someone swapped the ecm with another vehicle ,If anything the vin should show up as a match if it was just a security issue .and since the damage was not right at ecm area, something smells fishy ???????
 
My ecm is dead !

Just had a call from John at B&G, my ecm is toast.
Does anyone know if I can get a replacement ?

ECM

After being told my ECM is dead I now need to find a replacement, could anyone tell me what numbers I need off my unit (pic attached).
Also any tips on where I could find one.
I need to test run my engine before a pay out for it.
Any help would be awesome.
