I have a stage two Jet power control module on my '93 3.9 and I like it. Gained two mpg, and it makes a noticeable difference in power. Part #99302-S. It's easy to find on their website, but it's 330 bucks. I'm not sure if you can use it with stock exhaust. I don't like how they plug in either. The bolt on the trucks wire harness is not long enough to be used once the chip is on it. But it seems to hold just fine. Some one on here said it burn up their connector, but I've really liked mine. It's almost not the same truck with out it. Just my opinion, hope this helps.

The Jet Stage II module burnt up my PCM connector. Several others had the same problem too.

The only direct fit option is Mopar High Performance Computers. For the V8's they still make them. But for the V6 they are discontinued. There still are a few around. Try www.google.com or www.ebay.com or www.craigslist.org

The V6 MP PCM part number is in the FAQ2, Google the part number.

There are a few other options. This list is in the FAQ2, as well as TONS of other performance tips.

You can Also get get a multi-processor-driven signal manipulator that goes in-line between your engine and ECU.
