HeyYou, does yours have one upstream O2 or two? If it has one the computer only has a OBD2 interface for reading data and codes, but inside is still partly OBD1. I have the latest PCM available for these early 1996's. So I am a little concerned about that, but if yours has one upstream O2 and worked fine it should work here too.

I only have one upstream O2. California emissions trucks had more. I haven't put a tuner on my truck.... yet..... but, that is part of the plan. Hemifever's SCT tuners actually support the 96 dodge trucks, he should be able to set you right up.
So I got the tuner tonight, plugged it up, went for the 93 tune, installed no problems. Did a quick round the block test. I can notice something different, not sure what yet. I'm not spinning tires off the line that some are claiming. Have noticed shift points changed just a little, seems about 5 mph higher than normal. So far so good. I have to consider the fact my truck never had the death flash. So some of those claimed gains could be more noticeable for some. I'm going to play around with it for the next couple days. I got the 87, 91, and 93 tunes in mine.
EDITED 20 minutes later
Curiosity, I put the 91 tune in, and notice better results through mid range, pulls great at WOT through 2nd and 3rd gear, shifting almost at 4900 rpm. I might have to stick with this one. Revs up great in park, better than the 93 tune did.

Just wandering, but where did all you SCT owners put your badge hemifever gave you?
I want to put it on the back but don't know where haha.
