The van wont turn over, ive changed all other possible parts that could cause no spark other than the pcm, so I ordered a pcm and they cannot program it without knowing if an engine swap has been done. The reason they asked is because the part number on the pcm came back as a dodge Dakota not a b2500 ram van, i just got the van a few years ago at 297,000 miles so I don't know all that has been done, how could i tell if the engine has been swapped
Look on the side of the block the displacement(318-360) will be cast into. You can also look up the casting #. If you are getting another pcm find the correct oem # on it. You can look at what it was used for with it.
Did you just give them that number for the pcm? I am needing a pcm upgrade. I have a 98 that had a 5.2 and now has a 01 5.9 but can’t seem to find the serial number just casting numbers
Because there is no serial number on the engine. The pic above shows a PART number, and displacement.
You don't need to replace your PCM, you need to get it flashed for the larger engine. Dealer should be able to do it, or, buy a tuner from one of the assorted companies that offer them.
