Description of the problem	Our ram 3500 seems to have a wire chafing problem. On 26 june 2014 the truck locked in 4th gear. Ecm was replaced in fairbanks at 16490 miles. On 18 july 2014 the same thing happened at 18481 miles, the dealer in soldotna ak found a chafed wire in the wiring loom. On 29 july 2014, the truck completely died, the ecm fuse was blown. The pcm was replaced. On 26 july 2015, the truck completely died again, ecm fuse was blown. Mileage was 31421. Prestige dodge in longmont co replaced the ecm and then on the test drive the truck locked into 4th gear. They then replaced a portion of the wiring harness to correct a chafed wire. I was recently notified about another wire chafing problem with the airbags. I must wonder if somehow there is a wiring loom problem with this model truck. In all 3 incidents in 2014 we were towing our trailer on paved highways at highway speed and it was fortunate that we were able to get off the road without being in an accident. The event on 26 july 2015 occurred just after we had dropped off the trailer.
