That explanation makes sense. Having an actual security system would be nice. I worry that someone is going to want my car more than I do and just take it. Harrisburg, PA has been more interested in murder than car theft, FWIW. Would you be able to find a CTM out of another Dakota/Durango and...

I could try that and see what happens. I would think if the circuit was open, it would acknowledge it as unable to communicate.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I knew the 2nd Gen Dakota's had a much more complicated CAN/BUS network from reading performance/race builds using stand alone computers. To be honest, I don't know if the PCM works or not. It seemed like a good deal when I was buying parts. I would hate to...

I'll look up the part number again and see what else comes up for it. A Google search is what identified the PDC and PCM. It was in a plastic tote that I bought with a manual transmission. Yeah, I'm leary of Facebook groups. There are some knowledgeable guys in the groups. It's pretty easy to...

I was hoping to use the 1999 Dakota harness and PCM I already have. Is there a way to see if my PCM has a security feature?

Also, I read that OBD II uses a transponder key and theft deterrent system. One guy suggested that if you have the ignition switch and key, hook them up and tuck them away in the dash. Another suggested using a tuner to turn off the theft deterrent system. I don't have the ignition switch, key...

Yes, this was the article I read a while ago. Thanks for finding it. From my understanding, the Hughes intake is a licensed copy of the Edlebrock Air Gap so performance should be similar. Yeah, while I'm waiting for the MAP sensor I figured I would fix some wiring problems. The fuel level and...

Yeah, the last one I saw was $850 USD. The Hughes intake with all of the brackets for the fuel rails and adapter to run a stock throttle body is $750 USD new. If I remember correctly, the Hughes is based on an Edlebrock design for carbed applications. My car seems to run great with it, so I...

It was running decent until I got the CEL for it. Now it snaps out of throttle when trying to accelerate and it sounds like it's pinging the valves. I know the MAP is one of the main sensors for calculating fuel load and ignition advance in this system.

Also, I had a CEL for a MAP sensor. Once the new one gets here I'll see how different it runs.

I would like to find an M1 that isn't made of unobtainium. Guys want a fortune for them whenever they come up for sale. I read an intake comparison between a stock kegger, ported kegger, Hughes dual plane, and an M1. The M1 was the highest performer with the best flow numbers. The Hughes was...

Yeah, it's not a radical cam based off the profile and how it runs. It also has a Hughes dual plane intake and long tube headers. I'm sure that combination might more than what OBD I can deal with. I feel like I have the vacuum leaks fixed. The Hughes intake doesn't have a provision for the EGR...

I think that was it.

Maybe we're both imagining it, who knows? I feel like I read about it a couple of years ago on an MS2/3 forum or one the that was Magnum motor specific on Tapatalk. And I'm pretty sure the Magnum forum got shut down because I can't find it. Maybe I'll search the interwebs and my bookmarks for it.

I believe this is the cam: https://www.compcams.com/xtreme-energy-computer-controlled-212-218-hydraulic-roller-cam-for-chrysler-magnum.html It was already in the motor when I got it. I used to have the cam card but I can't find it now. And I agree on watching fuel economy as in indication of a...
