Default Mopar pcm question. Can I use this One?

I ordered (after mass research to find one) a mopar 5.2 mopar pcm for a 95 ram auto trans. I got it. Only problem is that its for a 94-95 ram 5.9 v8 Auto trans. Im kinda pissy about it because I called him more than once to get the 5.2. Could I still use it and what would be the side effects? And i did extensive research and hardly anything with mopar pcm came up to look at it. Maybe not searching the right keyword lol. I though MOPAR PCM would work. Thanks for the help and no im not selling it on here. id rather get the problem fixed with the company if its a bad idea to use.

You will run rich in open loop. Gas mileage will suffer, and it may or may not develop all the power it really could. If you can, send it back, get your money back, and buy a tuner from HemiFever.

He has a 95 and SCT's work on 97 and up. A performance pcm is the only way to improve the PCM. I think it's B&G that reflash's them.

Dang. I figured that. Gotta pay to ship it back to have the right one sent back. I better get reimbursed haha. I hear its the best option ive got.Id rather not go the b&g route. Already not driven my truck in a month. getting some major repairs such as a perf trans build hopefully done in a few days.

Does the PCM really even do that much? I heard it was great but seems like other options excel. Now my year makes my options limited though. I dont and wont for a while do everything i want to the motor to want a custom tune like B&G yet. Otherwise I would definately go that path.

By the way do you like the 3.92 gearing set up. Thought about it for a while. I assume it picks up the truck and moves down the road a lot faster than the stock 3.55's most trucks have. And im not looking forward to have to get this pcm switched. Wouldnt it be nice for things to go right first....Nah to easy huh
