OMG -- there goes another pile of cash as I start searching for one for my truck. I was blissfully unaware that this was out there.

Is the one you have the only one that works with our trucks? The pics on the site you linked to show what looks like the same unit from other cars & SUVs that would increase the potential donor field.

 

Yeah, you pretty much have to stick with the that one if you want everything to work right. Every other one I tried (and I tried a bunch as I was installing one into my wife's Jeep where one wasn't originally) the temp readout usually didn't work. I tried one with TPMS, it dinged constantly even though the truck was never setup for it (usually there's a dash light to go with it). For me it was worth it.

 

Hmm, and I was hoping to add TPMS. Wonder if it dinged because there were no sensors for it to talk to or if it'd always do it. I'd hate to find that out after buying the unit and 4 sensors!

 

How much u pay

 

Got it off ebay a year ago, I remember it wasn't as cheap as some of the $20-$40 units you see (it was new) but I didn't pay new price for it.

 

Nice job HemiLonestar, my truck is 2007 slt with 4.7L 2wd and it have OTIS, I bougth one EVIC from Jeep 2006 but won't start nothung operate even the light, So for 07 can't have EVIC.

 

I tried a few other types, I have found the Rams are picky about the module. I think what you want is p/n 56049824AC. 07 parts book only shows 2 modules that year, the one I already mentioned and 5102972AA.

 

I have an EVIC part number 56045574AE in a console for sale. It doesn't work in my 2007 ram diesel so it's gotta go. Email me if your interested. $75 shipped. My email is meefydevil@gmail.com


Thx!

 

Hello HemiLonestar,

I have read your posts on swapping an EVIC into 3rd gens. I finally did this following your direction with good results, thank you for your research!

My truck is a 2003 SRW LB 3500 4x4 diesel will every option but has a rear sliding window. The only problem I have run into is dramatically inaccurate instant and est mpg. (3x to high)

I am on my 1st tank and reset everything on fill up and held the button to reset the DTE, which has seemed to be pretty close. The trip is exact on with my dash, compass is good, temp is good, door ajars are perfect, home link works.

I realize this has been an old thread for you, so sorry for redigging it up, but your posts and research has been very comprehensive and very helpful. If you or anyone else has any suggestions to get my MPG reading closer I would thank you.
