I've been having issues with what I believe are BCM (P/N 68200252AD) related with my 2013 Ram 2500.
Before purchasing a newer BCM to replace my existing one I made an Excel comparison chart to see what the differences are between the 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017. I never went to 2018 as I have read FCA has increased security starting that year. I used http://connectors.dcctools.com/results.htm for the info.
The following comparison charts are for each of the BCM plugs C1A, C2/B, C3/C, C4/D, C5/E, C6/F & C7/G.
*** The highlighted green items match for all years, the orange items have differences between them ***
Hope this helps someone (FYI, not all plugs are shown as this is a large file).
Next is to build a test station to preprogram the BCM before installation.

When I search the part number for the new BCM (68320319AB) on https://www.factorychryslerparts.co...DULE-Body-Controller/11985345/68320319AB.html under the tab "What It Fits" it shows it is used for 267 vehicle variants which seams to be all truck models for that year.

2 questions:

1) Do you have the actual excel sheet? The photos are kind of blurry.
2) What's the main reason you're upgrading the BCM?

I read on some Challenger forum that the 2015 guys wanting to upgrade to a UAQ radio needed the 2016 BCM. Is that what you're doing?

I have a 2014 V8 Durango and got about 80% functionality of a 2018 SRT gauge cluster. I currently have a 2018 UAQ radio installed that is about 93% functional (and has been for years). The few things that did not work on the SRT cluster are 100% related to the BCM - the same cluster had full functionality in a friend of mines 2016 R/T. I'm hoping that swapping to a 2016 BCM will remedy my issues with both the UAQ AND allow me to use the SRT gauge cluster.

Any help would be awesome!

PatentlyPhil,
Long story short, I got a smokin' deal on a 2013 2500 Diesel with electrical gremlins. After changing out out a few electrical components I narrowed it down to a bad BCM.
I tried reprogramming some newer (2014/2017) BCM's I purchased off E-bay with AlfaOBD but I couldn't get them to work in my truck.
I ended up finding a 2016 donor vehicle with close to the same options as my truck (used the VIN to get the 2016 window sticker for comparison). I purchased the BCM and RH Hub from the 2016 donor truck and installed them in my 2013. Only had to change a few things with AlfaOBD and I'm up and running again using the 2016 BCM/files.
Yes, I have Excel spreadsheets comparing the differences between the years, I made these with ALLDATA.
FYI, My 2013 diesel truck has a 2015 GAS cluster and a 2016 8.4 VP4 Radio. Both items worked with the 2013 BCM and were plug and play...
