Batteries on one or both vehicles could easily be shot. You're lucky the batteries didn't explode and spray acid everywhere.

The regulator in the modern Dodge is part of the computer. Connecting the battery backwards may have damaged it. Does the truck run?

I recently seen that happen to a CR-X. so far all i have seen wrong with this guys CR-X is a blown fuse (it blew the main fuse to the PDC). maybe your lucky like he was..........maybe not.............. check the fuses and have the battery checked like what some others posted.

Usually blows a fusible link. Look for a burnt thing that looks like a wire. You can buy a replacement at any good auto parts store.
