so i was browsing around and... i found a superchip for the 1998-2002 dak. my main question would be, do you think it will work for the 1st gen dak? i would assume only the body is different from the 2nd gen, but not too sure.... i dont wanna go out, buy it, and find out it doesnt work on my truck. mines a '93 3.9

 

Actually, there is a lot of differences between your truck and a 2nd gen. The 2nd gens have a completely different computer with OBDII programming and a different connector. The best direct swap option for these trucks is a mopar performance computer (although they are very very hard to find for the 3.9s)

 

i was told the performance comp wont run the v6. i dont see why it wont tho, mainly because all the 318 is, is 2 more cylinders than the v6. grr, all i want to do is make my v6 faster until it dies without putting parts and stuff i wont need on the 318 in. my thoughts on the perf. comp. not running the v6 are, why not? you would think it just wouldnt run the 2 other injectors or fire the other 2 plugs because they arent hooked up, or is there more info on differences that im missing here...?


EDIT: found this....

think its a good idea? it apparently works for my v6. a little skeptical tho....

 

There were a small number of v6 mopar performance computers, but the v8 MP computers will not run a v6. The v8 computer is timed to fire those extra injectors, so the firing order would get messed up after the 1st revolution (and I don't know off the top of my head, but I would guess the firing order wouldn't match to begin with)

I have no idea how good that thing would be, and just my $0.02... $300 would not be worth it to me on an old engine thats getting replaced with a v8 soon, but thats your decision.

 

i just wanna do something to this engine that will make it temp faster, but... its not going so well so far... hmphhh

 

nitrous oxide. easily converted to your 318 later on. (yes im serious, i run nitrous on my bike)

 

im just gunna buy that chip next cheque. i thought about it, and it works for the '91 dakota too, so what im gunna do, is when im done with the chip, ill sell it to the guy whos buying my '91 for a couple hundred or something.

 

I just put that PCM in last week and it works great. Well, the Mopar one for the V6. I don't think anything else woudl work in the V6. What else made a big difference was the larger throttle body off of a V8. Putting in my K&N air filter this week.

 

can you get me a link so i can check it out?

 

I actually bought it off somone over at the bionic dodge forum. I think there was a sponsor over there that had them listed on their site but didn't have them in stock.
