Default So far not good.

Ready to pull what little hair I have out! I have changed out the coil packs and then the fuel pump making a guess that the pump was starting to die. Your talk of the PCM is making me nervous because they are not cheap.

What kind of prices are you seeing? Where are you looking? I've yet to look, but saw others saying they paid around $300.

Default Pricing PCM

I went to an online Dodge parts only. Prices were $1200-$1500 for their PCM. If I'm buying a new one I want to stick with Dodge parts. Best of luck.

I'm getting a refurbished unit off fleabay with a warranty. Just a heads up on that make sure you have your P/N because there are 7 or 8 different P/N'S for the PCM. The two letter code is the software load with AL being the latest.

Those are the best prices I've seen so far. We're probably going to go this route also.

Just got the PCM this evening installed took it out for test drive. Drove like I stole it, no stalling and the engine is revving higher now before I could only get about 4,200 out of it now I can get at least 5,500 now. So I'm cautiously optimistic gonna drive more tomorrow change the oil and get it ready for the trip to the air races in Reno.

I bet you got it fixed. Especially if it's running better like that. I won't be following through, guy I was helping decided to cut his losses and sold his Magnum.

Drove from Olympia to Reno no bumps no burbbles. Gas mileage was okay. So I'm gonna call it fixed!
