The biggest thing I towed for a year was a 28’ 5000lbs 5th wheel. I still tow boats and sleds around with the dodge when the dually is not worth running up. I honestly think the mopar performance pcm is the cats meow for 94-96 trucks yes i am including the 96 model year.
By the way dude. I love that truck. blacks' a good color on these dodges. Nice mods.

I'm using a 5.9 auto PCM with my 5.2 5 speed and it runs great, AFRs are also correct (wideband verified).

That has nothing to do with the Megasquirt?

I ran just the Mopar PCM for over a year before I put in Megasquirt, the Mopar PCM just controls ignition now.

Hmm. I wonder if there is a difference between the 5.2 computers and the 5.9 computers

360 wants more fuel, and probably different spark curves. Aside from that, they are basically the same engine..... use all the same sensors...... and the same wiring harness. Upgrading from a 318 to a 360 is rather simple. For the PCM end of things, all it takes is a re-flash.
