I have a 95 with a 318 and the Mopar Performance PCM woke my truck up ! Immediate change in performance . I would recommend it to anyone with OBD1 Truck . However I got mine out of a scrap truck for $50 along with a bunch of other parts , I know new they are quite expensive . I tow a camper trailer twice a year and it pulls a lot better after changing computers .

ive got the mopar pcm and got it about 8 monthes ago. one out of the last 6 they could get there hands on in the us according to the mopar warehouse. it is nothing but awesome. i bulked my tranny way high and it takes the rev limiter out and its a beautiful thing. roller rocker coming up next. im really debating on tearing down the top end for an intake manifold or just biulding the motor anyway. 153,000 and runnung like a champ. 318's arent meant to hall but right now its a 7.2 sec 0-60 at my best granted summers are only 60 degrees here. if you can find a mopar pcm... it is very worth it. theyre becoming extinct for cryin out loud. I hear b&g is a very suitable alternative to. even better for a motor build beyond boltons as I hear the pcm only handles small changes compared to a motor build.

Yes it gave me better mileage and power and takes to mods very well. $7.55 a gallon! That makes me feel good we are @ $6 something for 91+
I don't know how you got away with 87, mine pings VERY easily if I do not run premium.

It would ping if I used mom & pop gas, if I used a good 87 it was not a problem. Maybe our gas is different than yours. This was not flat land driving either its all in the mountains. Now its a different story I must run 91 or better.

Edit: I had very few mods done @ that time, headers, true duals no cat.

Huh? about is "about" I am not to sure what you are referring too. I also use ask instead of axe, and sensuous is not; sensuous was up get me a beer. There are most deffenatly differant pronunciations used between the two countries eh.

Isn't "about" more like "aboat" in canadian.? It is if you have a mullet and swing a hockey stick anyway.
