PCM Questions for a Swap

="Ronjon, post: 1973735894, member: 63764"


]So I plan a 5.9 magnum swap into my 72 Dart to upgrade from the /6. Plan to use a A904 trans. The donor vehicle is a 2000 Durango SLT. I’d like to use the factory EFI from the donor. After searching through the site I believe using the PCM from the donor will cause a no start or run issue because of security or VTSS, is this correct.
I think my options are:
1. Buy a new PCM from Solo programmed for a manual trans and no security. Are there other vendors who do this?

ERY GOOD QUESTION.. haven't found any online sellers with a new pcm that already is programmed


2. Try to find a scrapyard from a 2000 5.9 Ram with a manual trans and no security (not sure how to tell if it has security by looking at the PCM if no keys are available)

WHEN SEARCHING FOR PCM
always find the vehicle first then peel back the plastic around the ignition cylinder( where key goes)
if it has a skim module (insert picture here) attached you can skip to the next donor wont work
ALSO
a pcm from a a 8 cylinder 4.7 liter dodge will also work..ive tried it to see if it would fire up and it did






3. Reprogram the existing PCM for manual and no security. Who does reprogramming?
Is all of this correct?
Thx for the help, great site with tons of info.

I THINK THIS HAS BEEN ASWERED QUITE WELL[/QUOTE]

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!
MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE VIN NUMBER OF THE.DONOR VEHICLE . VERY IMPORTANT LATER

ALSO sorry but most durangos had the skim attached i found

I went through this same deal.
