- Engine stalling, stumbling, or rough idling
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- Misfire codes that don’t resolve with new plugs or coils
- Transmission shifting problems or harsh engagement

Expert Insight: The Brain of Your Vehicle
The ECM in your Charger or 300 is more than just a component; it’s the central command center. It constantly processes data from dozens of sensors to manage everything from the air-fuel mixture to transmission shift points. When it fails, the entire system can become unstable. Unlike a simple mechanical part, you can’t just swap in a used ECM from another car due to the sophisticated anti-theft systems (SKIM). Our pre-programming service correctly pairs the module to your vehicle’s unique identity, making the installation seamless and ensuring all systems communicate perfectly, just like the original.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module truly Plug & Play?
Yes. As long as you provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, the module will arrive flashed with the correct software and security information. The process is as simple as disconnecting the battery, swapping the modules, and reconnecting the battery. No further programming is needed.
What information do you need from me?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to program the computer correctly. Please enter it during the checkout process. In some cases, we may also request the mileage.
Will this fit my 2013 Chrysler 300 with the 3.6L engine?
Absolutely. This ECM is compatible with both the 2013 Dodge Charger and the 2013 Chrysler 300, as long as your vehicle is equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
The part numbers listed are the most common, but there can be others. As long as your vehicle is a 2013 Charger or 300 with a 3.6L engine, this module is the correct replacement. Our programming process ensures it will function correctly, regardless of the original part number.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools. You will typically need a socket set (often 8mm or 10mm sockets) to remove the mounting bolts and disconnect the electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the replacement.
How does the one-year replacement warranty work?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. If the unit fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a direct replacement. This gives you confidence and security in your repair.
