$1600 at the Dodge dealership and truck will not run. At first they did a full tune up. No help @ $800, then they ordered a new computer @ $800 and the truck ran for 1 day, then wouldn't start again. Now the dealership is saying it may be the wiring harness for $1,200. I feel like I am getting jerked around by the dealership. Code on the Scanner says it is the sending unit. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you SO MUCH!

Which sender? Do you know the exact code? It would help greatly. Could be a bad crank angle sensor or cam angle sensor. Ask them how much they are willing to spend instead of diagnosing the problem correctly.I can undersatnd the tune up at that mileage, but it wont keep it from running.
