I thought that 96 was OBD II but I know the older trucks (95 and older) are OBD I and there are no plug and play tuners. You can get a Mopar performance computer or a B+G flash of your current computer.

The only tuner that does 1996 for sure is the SCT, IIRC.
The reason there are so few options is that 1996 was a OBD II hybrid. It had an OBD II port and most (if not all) PCM, but it used a lot of older OBD I sensors and had a mixed list of codes, OBD I and OBD II. The first "true" OBD II truck was the 1998 model year.
Oh, and just a tid bit for next time... please try doing a search before posting. This has been discussed many times before.
