Default Piggy Backs?

I was talking to my dealership master tech and he told me to get a piggy back. But he said that our conversation never happened.

So my question is to you all is, what the hell is a piggy back and what does it do?

Thanks.

He could have been referring to the AIT mod.... which has been called a piggy back a few time...

If he was talking about the AIT mod then its when you place a resistor inline with your Air Temp sensor.

Other than that I’m not sure what else there is to "PIGGY BACK" ....

You all know what a piggy back is. A piggyback is another "pcm" controller that modifies pcm signals vs. a "flash" that overwrites parameters. The SMT6 is a piggyback (notice in my signature). A piggyback will allow you to tune more for WOT conditions and idle, etc. Roe Splitsecond and Apexi have piggybacks.

Like hemifever said, a piggy back is an additional computer that goes in between your sensors and pcm to change what the pcm sees and makes changes.

NO ONE has gotten' into the dodge pcm yet.
