A quick question about the unlocked PCM swap through Hemifever. Would I be able to purchase a used PCM off of eBay as long as it is the same year and model? I own a 16 Ram 1500 Laramie 2wd with 3.92 gears and an 8spd tranny. If I purchase the PCM used by eBay, how would I test that it works properly? Also, could I send the used PCM for the swap through Hemifever? I think it would be reassuring to have a working stock PCM in the garage in case anything gets corrupted or bricked. For anyone who shelled out the extra money to just buy the unlocked PCM outright, was it worth it for the peace of mind?
Another question, if I do the PCM swap instead for the unlocked one and since I do not have any warranty left on the vehicle, do I have to put it back on the stock tune before bringing in the vehicle to a shop if work needs to be done, or is it just set and forget?
I tried searching Google and the forum but all the posts talk about buying the new PCM without swapping or just talking about how easy the swap was. Thanks in advance for any help. I had a recent post about doing exhaust first but maybe doing a custom tune first then exhaust or even just doing a cheap mid-muffler delete alongside it so I can have the tune and aggressive sound.
