Can you share the ECM rebuilder's name?

 

The first company I went to was https://carcomputerexchange.com/.  I talked with Brian (their "tech support guy") on numerous occasions.  I was very underwhelmed.  NO technical help whatsoever & could not even tell me for certain what things they did or components they changed.  Even after I explicitly called him & told him I this is what I wanted, BEFORE they even received it.  They had 2 chances @ it & could not get it right.

The second company.......... I dont know, and I dont know that Bruce would tell you.  

Seems weird that they would go through the time & expense to add it to the motor, Harness & software to not do anything with it.  I supposed if it was used in some other application & it was simpler just to just leave it there VS removing it, that kind of makes sense, however being as these motors are explicitly made for Dodge vehicles with Dodge specific ECM's & tuneups...........  just strange to me.  
 

thanks again folks.

BTW, I wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of the help & assistance.  This was a very frustrating deal & it was compounded by multiple issues. 

 

So....... THANKS!!!

Now onto the heater core, Dash & all the fun that is going to come with that.  I need to search & see if there is a "how to install a heater core in 30 minutes or less" instructional.  LOL.

thank you sir!!  

can you replace the dash top w/o having to remove it can see that you can get to the Pass side screws, in the video, but can you get to the drivers side as well?

Yes you can get to all the screws. I've replaced a few dashes now and used @Mopar1973Man 's article as a guide. I didn't need to pull the HVAC box so I just rolled the dash back toward the seat. 

[dripley]

The drivers was a little tough to get to but can be be done.

[Bobalos]

thanks guys. 

 

I know its pretty far off topic, but did you buy the OEM Dodge dash (& where did you get it from)?

 

Has anyone tried the Geno's garage Dash?

 

thanks again

Bob

Got mine from LMC Trucks. Matched up quite well. About $300 to the door. $25 of that was for washwers for screws on top of the dash.

[Bobalos]

Cool, thanks.

I second the LMC dashes
