Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to program this computer?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. Please provide this information during checkout to ensure a perfect, plug-and-play setup.
Is this really “Plug and Play”?
Yes. “Plug and Play” means we flash the unit with your vehicle’s specific data before it ships. Once you receive it, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the old computer with the new one, and reconnect the battery. No dealership tools or further programming are needed. In some cases, a security or idle relearn procedure may be necessary, which can be done without special tools.
Will this computer fit my 2008 Chrysler Aspen 4.7L?
Absolutely. This engine computer is compatible with both the 2008-2009 Dodge Durango and the 2008-2009 Chrysler Aspen, as long as your vehicle is equipped with the 4.7L engine.
Do I need to send my old computer back?
No core charge is required for this part. You do not need to return your old, faulty engine computer to us.
What is the warranty on this part?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. We stand behind the quality of our programming and hardware, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.
Could a bad computer cause my transmission to act up?
Yes, it’s very common. The engine computer (ECM) works closely with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). If the ECM is sending bad data or has internal communication faults, it can absolutely cause harsh shifting, delayed engagement, or other transmission-related symptoms. A new 2008-2009 Durango 4.7L Engine Computer can often resolve these issues.
