Product Details

Cardone 79-8316 is an Engine Control Module (ECM) designed for the 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 application listed above. As part of Cardone’s Engine Control Module line, this remanufactured unit is built to match OE fit and electrical requirements while addressing common failure points found in original modules. The module uses a single rectangular connector, 60 male terminals, and a plastic housing for direct replacement in the specified vehicle.

This part cross-references Dodge 4798344 and 56028316 for the same application. The Cardone 79-8316 is a practical choice when replacing a failed 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 ECM and when the original OE number 56028316 is confirmed.

Common Problems This ECM Can Address

• No-start condition caused by a failed engine control module
• Intermittent drivability issues related to internal ECM faults
• Communication or control problems traced to damaged module circuitry
• Electrical failures caused by cracked solder joints or worn internal components
• Replacement needs after confirming the original ECM is the source of the fault

Installation Notes and Tips

Before replacing the original ECM, verify the root cause of the failure. Common causes include poor grounds, power supply issues, damaged wiring harnesses, and shorted solenoids or relays. Confirm the Ford Engineering ID-style cross-reference is not being used here; for this Dodge application, match the OE number and connector layout to the original unit before installation.

Because this module is pre-programmed at the factory and does not require flash programming, installation should focus on correct vehicle identification, connector fitment, and inspection of the related electrical system. If the original module failed due to an external circuit problem, repair that issue first to help prevent repeat failure.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures these electronic control modules to meet or exceed OE performance targets. Each unit is computer tested, and critical internal components are re-soldered or replaced during the remanufacturing process. The brand also validates durability and performance through on-car testing, helping support reliable operation in the listed application.
