I have a 99 1500 sport and the brain box crapped out on me. I have found a couple at salvage yards but I am wondering about the mileage. I have been told that the mileage is stored in the ecm, the instrument cluster, the tranny computer and another computer under the dash. Just wanted to know if this is accurate and if the VIN number is stored in the brainbox?

 

You have to take it toa dealership... the newPCM will give weird codes otherwise. The VIN and Mileage is in the PCM (Chryslers don't have ECM's) and the dealership will be able to program it for you. You can likely buy it at the salvage yard, but it will need to be set up for your car... and the only placeI know that can do that is the dealer.

Hope that helps... but on your model truckthe mileage and VIN arein the PCM... not in the instrument cluster, the tranny computeror another computer under the dash...
