RE: Jet chip install
Reply to jersharp. Stage II NOT recommended without 180 thermostat which at this point in time is not available for 3.7L. I would have preferred the StageII in my '05 Dak but had to settle for the StageI. Suggestions have been made about drilling 3 holes in a triangular pattern in the 195 to supposedly act as a 180 but that just does not set well with me. I personally think it's a bad idea.

Check the standard part no for the replacement thermostat for both the 3.7 an 4.7. I believe they are the same thermostat. If they are then the NAPA 180 degree Superstat part no. 530080 which does work in the 4.7 will also work in the 3.7.

RE: Jet chip install
Do anyone of you know, where the ECM is, in a Durango 4.7L 2006. According to the instruction (I want to install stage 1 Jet chip), the ECM is on the passenger side, in the engine room, next to the air intake. But there is the battery? I can´t see under it. And the pic in the instructions that came with it, are definitely not from that vehicle.
Does any of you know this?

RE: Jet chip install
remember that you have the 4.7 h.o. motor so you will need the stage 2 chip for that motor, not the regular 4.7 91 octane will work fine for you. you wont see much gains if you use 89 or lower

RE: Jet chip install
so for a regular 4.7 a stage one is ok? and can you still run regular gas with the chip and see results? just wondering about this chip cuz i'm looking for a little improvement on mpg's and a little more horsepower.

My Stage 1 didn't help or hurt mileage enough to measure but it adds enough power to feel. I tried 91 octane but 87 performs just as well under most circumstances. When I tow, I use 89 octane to help prevent detonation.
