I just want to thank Justinswidebody for his help flashing my salvaged PCM. It was because of his posts that I went that route. It was surprisingly easy with his guidance.

Thank Justin!

You guys might want to check out his replacement taillights he is making for the gladiator.

If you want to clone your own ECU, you can purchase the tools to do it yourself for less than $150.


You have to purchase a Chinese clone of a scanmatik 2 pro, and use pcmflash version 1.20

You can get the clone scanmatik 2 pro from here:

US $37.14 25%OFF | SM2 PRO J2534 VCI PCM ECU Programmer Dongle 67 IN 1 ECU Read&Write V1.20 EEPROM FLASH BENCH OBD Update SM2 Hardware 12V/24V

Make sure to choose option (new full set).

If anyone is interested in learning to do it this way, please let me know and I will assist you..
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad it all worked for you!!!!

Hi Justin,

Wow great information!! I ordered a spare PCM from moparparts and I am looking into the programming tools that you shared above. If I get them would you please provide me the instructions on the cloning process?

Thank you

Has anyone recently successfully ordered a new PCM? If so, where did you get it?

I've tried three companies and called multiple dealerships. Nobody has them in stock and they don't know when they will be available again.

If you use the Canadian company everyone is using they can clone your ecu with no security lights or issues.

I just want to throw a huge +1 out here for @Justinswidebody - he helped me out tremendously with getting my ECU read and a new one written. It was a very simple process. I had a few hiccups (related to drivers not installing) but in the end, everything worked very smoothly and easily. Thank you!

I also grabbed another fuse box cover so I could create a mounting surface to leave my stock PCM in place the entire time. I still haven't removed the stock PCM. Fuse box cover was $28 or something then another $5 for bolts and wingnuts, not a huge expense to be able to hot swap them in seconds thanks to just enough loom in the stock wiring. This way I can just pull the lid with the "extra" PCM, put the stock cover in place and back to stock. I'll post some pics once done.
Mike,
Do have an updated picture of your dual PCM setup that you could share?

Thank You!
