A modern truck like your Dodge 1500 has a complex network of computers that must communicate flawlessly. The most critical piece is the anti-theft system (SKIM).

It’s not just a part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution that respects your time and gets the job done right the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this unit truly Plug and Play?
Yes. We use the VIN and mileage you provide to flash the computer with your vehicle’s exact software and security information. Once installed, you may need to perform a simple battery disconnect/reconnect sequence, but no further programming is required.
What information do you need from me?
During the checkout process, we will require your truck’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the current mileage. This is essential for the programming service.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal failure of the original engine computer, this part will resolve the issue. It’s crucial to ensure the root cause of the problem is the ECM and not a separate sensor or wiring issue.
How do I know if this part number is correct for my truck?
While this unit replaces a long list of part numbers, the most important factor is providing us with your VIN. We use your VIN to ensure the 2012 Dodge 1500 4.7L engine computer we send is 100% correct for your specific vehicle configuration.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set and screwdrivers, to access and replace the old module. Always disconnect the battery before starting any work.
