choice to make: programmer or fastman
I have a hypertech and a tb on my truck. If you are looking for performance, i would go with the the tb. Both the tb and the hypertech give a good performance boost, but i got more out of the tb than the hypertech. Also, when i installed my hypertech, my truck developed a pinging problem under load. I was able to eliminate it by just changing out my spark plugs to a cooler plug. Since the change, I have not had any problems with pinging.

yeah 3-98, I'll have to look to see about whether it has it or not, although I don't remember where exactly it would be

ripto do you have a code reader? If you don't already have a code reader I'd say go with a hypertech or Superchip programmer since you have a '98 and can't do the ignition on-off-on-off-on trick to read codes. If you already have a code reader or access to one I'd say go with the fastman and then down the road pick up a programmer. You might even decide to go with a Mopar Performance PCM (for a little extra performance) instead if you don't mind paying the extra for premium gas.

I took a look like Ryans590 and couldn't find anything that specifically said kelsey hayes abs brake controller. The hypertech website ( http://www.hypertech-inc.com/dodgefeaturechart.html ) states "98-01 all" at the bottom for the speedo adjustment. I haven't been able to find any other info one way or another. I hoping someone else knows for sure if all the '98's are able to adjust their speedo with a programmer.
heres a link for hypertechs site where it says Yes* in the 98 row and then down the bottom says the info about the brake controller

*The following applications use the Kelsey-Hayes ABS controller and will also include the Tire Size Adjustment feature: 1998-2001 Ram(all), 1997-2000 Dakota 4X4, 1998-2000 Dakota 4X2,1998-2000 Durango (all). Tire Size feature for Part #50008 is available only for the 2500/3500 models only.
That was what I had read. I have no idea if there different brake controllers used in the 98's. I was just passing along that their website said 1998-2001 Ram(all).
