          I was thinking about doing that, however I know a former Chrysler mechanic that has his own place now, but he knows everything about my car, so I think I will give him a call tomorrow. A new computer is $200 and it comes programmed to your VIN and mileage. So it isn’t too bad, but it would be nice to confirm that’s the issue.

              That`s why I’m thinking computer, it just doesn’t make any sense, there isn’t even a sensor in the right rear that I can think of, I don’t have tire pressure monitoring or anything. All I can say is that the truck runs perfect, no miss what so ever. I’m going to see if there’s any way to test the computer tomorrow.

                  Ok maybe this will clear things up…

                  In February of 2012 I replaced the fuel pump.

                  Since June I had an EVAP leak code, P0441
                  -I ignored this due to the fact that I, at the time had an aftermarket gas cap.

                  2 weeks ago the 6 month old fuel pump went bad.
                  -I again replaced the fuel pump, this time with an OEM unit.
                  -when this fuel pump went bad I had codes…
                  P0301, C3101, C3404, C0100, and yes, the P0441
                  -Truck ran just the way it should after the new pump was in.
                  -I suspected the missfire code, and the 3 chassis codes were due to the pump going out.
                  -When changing the pump I noticed the filter was clogged with charcoal.

                  The CEL was still on with the P0441…

                  3 days ago…

                  -The charcoal canister was replaced, along with the EVAP Leak detection pump.
                  -CEL WENT AWAY, NO P0441

                  yesterday…

                  -The CEL came back on, the codes present this time were…
                  -P0304, C1704, C0004, and C0100
                  -Also, the ODO lights up gascap when I start the car, which it has never ever done before. The gas cap is a NEW chrysler cap.

                  This leads me to believe the computer is messed up, I have the 6600 page service manual for this truck, and I cannot find those particular chassis codes anywhere.

                  I just want to see what everyone`s thoughts were before I shell out the cash for a new computer.

                  Thanks Everyone!

                      The p0441 is gone since i changed the evap leak pump, charcoal canister, and fuel pump. I now have a cylinder 4 miss code, 3 unknown chassis codes, and the odo lights up gas cap when i turn the car on, the cap is a new chrysler cap. The truck runs fine, but i keep getting all these different codes. It seems strange that the car thinks there is a leak and tells me the cap is off, but has no leak codes at the moment, butwhen i did have the p0441 it never said the cap was off.

                          Sorry I haven’t replied yet, I think I blew the fuse when i was jumping the relay terminals to see if the fans would come on. They are still working properly, and no blown fuse. anyways it appears to be running good, and is almost ready to be sold. Thanks again everyone for the help!

                              i think the parking brake just needs turned back a little bit. that is the only thing that could be holding things up when you put the rotor on, when you put the rotor on do you really have to push it/hammer it on? if so just adjust the star on the bottom of the assembly to retract the shoes. just keep backing it off a little bit until the rotor goes on smoothly and when you actuate the park brake it holds.

                                  HOOOOORAY!!! I fixed the stupid intrepid! So after a week of contemplation and $100 in parts yesterday it ended up being a $6 blown fuse. the worst part it that I checked the fuse previously and it was fine, but I checked it again this morning and sure enough it was blown. anyways thanks for the help everyone!
