Question PCM Change?

I have a early (7/98) 1999 F350 CC dually 7.3. Will changing or upgrading my PCM to a later 1999 or newer PCM help with performance, etc??

Thanks, Pat

I also have an early 99. I put a 2000 pcm in mine. I have a superchips 1705 programmer also. I noticed a slight increase in power, but mostly noticed improved shifting and lockup characteristics. I mainly switched because I am going to get one of Jody's chips in the future. I got the pcm that he recommended. Later, Jamie

Thanks, I'll call Jody. Sounds like we have the same setup! I'm also thinking about getting one of Jody's chips.


Thanks, Pat

Call Jody and he'll tell you to change to a new PCM, the programs is better for the newer PCM. Have him flash a tune on the new PCM!

I bought a PCM from Jody with the base PMT1 which is the best shifting solution out there for an automatic. I had Jody burn it with his 80 HP Econo tune and that is what I ran for about a year until I could afford his chip. Best single thing I ever did to my truck. I think it was about $225 with his tune installed.
