Default 02, Dakota, 4x4, V-6 3.9 Powertrain Control Module

I have a bad PCM and need to replace it. Can I use a used one off another 02 Dakota or do the PCM's have to math the VIN of the vehicle?

I believe you have to find a direct replacement, 02' 4x4 3.9, and auto or manual trans. The truck should run, but you should get the VIN and milage transferred. A dealer can take care of this for a fee.

Check EBay. There is a company that will "refresh" yours for $125, or send you out a "refreshed" unit and have you return yours as a core for $165.

Curious how do you know your PCM is bad?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

or ebay item number 170525697411

They are having a sale, so it's $148.50 for the next three days.

they are 99.5% positive with almost 7000 sales, so they should be pretty good. I believe I even looked them up on the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and they checked out OK.

I haven't bought mine yet.
