i'm crying inside. mechanic called me and they think the pcm is dying. fuel pump, etc. is all fine. so my question is. do i buy directly for Chrysler and get a remanufactured one for $500+ or can i tust something from ebay or online?

 

If the PCM is definitely bad, try this place:

They are here in Florida and I have read a lot of good reviews on them. They are supposed to have real good prices and they have a good reputation for quality parts.

yup thats what i found with a google search. much less expensive than from the dealer.

so i assume if it ends up being the pcm, the install would just be removing the few bolts that hold the pcm in and plugging the new one in? essentially a plug and play, nothing else required.

 

i think if you get a whole new pcm you gotta have the dealer set it or something. like a vin lock on a tuner. im not sure, but i think abels had his pcm replaced.

 

the website claims that you just give them your vin and mileage to program it to the specific vehicle. i think josh had his just re flashed not replaced.

 

nah never had the pcm replaced on my end i replaced the ctm replaced but mine didn't require programing cause i aint got no power options, and i had to have the superchips reflashed cause it was vin locked

my step-bro had to replace the pcm on his saturn and the mechanic just said to get a used one and bring it in and they would program it for like 50 bucks, i assume that is the same thing that would happen for us

id say go with that site if they can't program it get your money back

 

the good thing with the website is that they do program it specific with the vin number. now i just need her to start one last time at the shop so i can drive home and fix it myself.

 

AAA ftw!

 

i almost had it towed to the shop, i called and they were driving up my driveway when she finally barked to life. saved myself 80$ there.
