I think, from what I've seen, that HHOHoper and I are definitely dealing with a very stubborn ECU setup. I wish I could afford to at least get a scanguage and hook it up to my laptop so I can see what is going on.
If you're interested, I have a copy of the service manual for my Ram in PDF form, uploaded to my webserver.
