Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
Absolutely not. We handle all the programming before we ship the unit. We use the VIN you provide during checkout to flash the module with your vehicle’s exact software. It will be 100% plug-and-play when it arrives.
How do I find my part number to ensure compatibility?
Your original part number is printed on a sticker on the ECM itself. While this unit is compatible with many part numbers, matching it is a good practice. If you can’t find it, our team can verify compatibility with your VIN.
Is installation difficult? Can I do it myself?
Installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The ECM is typically located in the engine bay. It involves disconnecting the negative battery terminal, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. Then, you simply bolt in the new one and reconnect everything. No special tools are required.
What if this doesn’t fix my truck’s problem?
While this 2005 Dodge 1500 3.7L ECM fixes the common issues listed, we always recommend proper diagnostics. If you install the part and your issue persists, you may have another underlying problem (e.g., a wiring short or a faulty sensor). Our one-year replacement warranty covers the part itself for any defects.
Will my keys need to be reprogrammed?
For this specific vehicle, the security information (SKIM) is programmed to the module using your VIN. In most cases, your existing keys will work immediately. On rare occasions, a key relearn procedure may be necessary, but this does not require a trip to the dealer.
