5.2 vs 5.9 flex plate/TC weights
#11
So I checked my PCM and block. Here is what I got.
Huntsville S/N 25GEP05F14
P/N P56040
(In big letters) 407AD
Module S/N TEH309902KUE
Stamp on block: 53006714 31824
I assume the 318 in the block number is the displacment, so 5.2. I searched for the numbers on the pcm but couldn't find anything, But I seem to remember there being a code for the 5.2 and 5.9. Also, being a 2000 I noticed it didn't say anything about factory service update or anything like that.

That is a 5.9 pcm: http://carcomputerexchange.com/dodge.../prod_400.html
You need this: http://carcomputerexchange.com/dodge.../prod_133.html

The pcm is not going to fix any vibration or miss. A 5.9 pcm will run a 5.2 and vice versa just fine. As stated, an sct or even a superchips tuner will correct that part of it. Or you can have a dealer flash it. I'd be looking elsewhere for the problem and keep the pcm you currently have, it is for your vehicle and has the correct options programmed into it.

Ok well it is down to the weighted flex plate/torque converter. I have gotten a lot of conflicting opinions as to which is actually weighted. If it is the torque converter, I may be able to get to it through the little inspection plate. If its the flex plate, what are my options for solving it?

Changeover year was 96. Older than that, converter was weighted, newer than that, flex plate is weighted. If either of them are the problem, your options are: Drop the trans, or, pull the motor.
Can you ask the original owner what flexplate he put in there? If he 'thought' it was a 360, good chance that it has the wrong one on it.
