Default What year Rams had VTSS

I curious as to what year Dodge started using VTSS in Ram trucks and how if any can tell if it has it? Also what year did they start using the SKIM system instead?

Okay thanks for the help. If you're looking at one in a JY how can you tell? And I'd guess that there isn't any way to know if you are buying a used PCM online?

JY is junk yard not anything to do with Jeeps. The square headlight Wranglers are a YJ and the Wranglers like I have are a TJ and the newer Wranglers are a JK if 2 doors and a JKU if they are a 4 door. The newest Wranglers are a JL or a JLU and the new pickup in 4 door version is a JT. Is that enough Jeep info for the next 10 years?

A WJ is a 99-04 Grand Cherokee, 93-98 GC is a ZJ and the popular Cherokee is a XJ. http://www.fourwheeler.com/project-v...ur-jeeps-code/
