Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM truly Plug & Play?
Yes, absolutely. We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. When it arrives, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old module with the new one, reconnect the battery, and you’re ready to go. No further programming is needed.
How do I provide my VIN and mileage?
You can add your vehicle’s VIN and current mileage in the notes section during the checkout process. If you forget, we will contact you via email to get the necessary information before shipping your part.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original ECM (like with code P0601), this replacement unit will resolve the issue. We always recommend clearing all codes after installation and addressing any other mechanical or sensor-related problems that may be present.
Does this fit both Regular Cab and Club Cab models?
Yes, this ECM is compatible with 2004 Dakota models equipped with the 3.7L engine and automatic transmission, for both Regular Cab (2 Dr) and Club Cab (2 Dr) configurations with a 20-gallon fuel tank, as specified in the fitment details.
What if my original part number isn’t an exact match?
This module is a compatible replacement for a long list of part numbers, including 56028806AD, 56030009AA through 56030009AJ. As long as your original part number is on our compatibility list and your vehicle matches the fitment details, this unit will work perfectly.
