I have a P0601, and have been directed to replace the PCM

local dealership wants $739

part # r6040348ag list @ $718.38, sell for $614.00; additional core charge of $125.00

from what i have just found online, the R in the number quoted from dodge is reman!

do we have a parts hookup here on this site? if not, can i get a new one cheaper somewhere else? what about remanufactured?

will i need to get the new pcm programmed on top of that? if so, how much is the going rate for reprogramming?

 

through some searching, i have found the original part number to be 56040348ag

 

digging around online, i have found a place that remans them out of florida....

whats everyone think?

call them to make sure it will work with your truck (options and all that sh*t on it).

they list the exact part number that is what the dealership says is for my truck. also, this company can rebuild your computer after you send it in

do you have firsthand experience with these guys? i want it as cheap and painless as possible

 

i have a 1997 3.9 computer for sale. Not sure if you have that motor and if it would work, but I assume it would. Worth a shot. Il sell it cheap.

 

sorry, not taking a chance with that computer, vehicle is a 2000 dakota with CA emissions

 

yeah it wont, if im not mistaken, cali requires the VIN programmed on the VIN to match the one on the vehicle, let alone it has to be the same year or newer PCM (or program if it makes a difference).

 

thats what i figured fox.....

thats why the company in florida looks tempting, they rebuild my broken computer
