Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. The ECM is typically located in the engine bay on the passenger side fender. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the module. Since our 2008-2009 Aspen Durango 4.7L ECM is pre-programmed, there are no complicated computer steps involved.
Do I need to send my old computer back (core charge)?
No core charge is required for this part. You can keep or responsibly dispose of your old module without needing to send it back to us.
How do I confirm this is the right part for my vehicle?
This unit fits 2008-2009 Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen models with the 4.7L engine. The best way to confirm is to match the part number from your existing module to one of the compatible numbers listed on this page. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us with your VIN.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated symptoms are caused by a faulty ECM, this part is the correct solution. However, it is always recommended to have a proper diagnosis performed to rule out other potential issues like faulty sensors or wiring before replacing the computer.
