Which year 5.9 computer for 96 swap?
Going to be doing a 5.9 swap soon. (I know I know vortec vortec vortec, ill explain why later) and need to know does the year matter for the 5.9 computer? Being there's cbus and security built in the newer then the truck i have. Or. Should I just get my current computer flashed for a 5.9 at the dealer?
I know the rest of the swap is plug and play after you swap oil pans. But, I wanna make sure I have the right plan on the computer. Thanks for the help..

the thought has crossed my mind but that's about $400 extra give or take. And worse comes to worse, ill just use my current ecm till I can make a decision. Though usually he doesn't like doing an 87 tune, which is all I want for now. Ill message him again and see what he says.

Barring that, try to find a similar year (1996 ideally) RAM 5.9 ECU; but again, your stock should get it running (you'll just be pushing some of the parameters instead of being dead center when it's running JustRight.)
As in fuel trims being running + instead of right at 0 etc.

The main problem is, most dealers could only use standard flashes; and there wasn't a standard 5.9 ECU for a Dakota for 1996.
OTGH, check the dealer rate; take that away from the tuner from Flyin'Ryan; and that's all his tuner actually costs you. His base price is $449 with the tuner; $200 without.
If you have a SCT tuner already, that doesn't have to be paid for again. Just make sure, if you buy used, it's no longer married to a computer/vehicle.
