I read on hear somewhere that you can replace your early 99 PCM with a later model PCM or have somebody flash yours to the newer settings. and it will make the early 99 run better. Is this true and how do you know which one you can use if you buy a new one?

 

I believe the PMT2 is the most sought after OEM. I would search for a used one, they are going to be spendy from the stealership, or you could just pick up a custom pcm/chip from DP-Tuner.

Edit: Yours is probobly an XLE4, anything after an early 99 is going to be better.

 

Yes, this is true. I have a PMT2 pcm, and several others are running PMT1. Your truck will start easier, shift better, have better throttle response, and so on. Here is a list of compatible pcm's courtesy of Ron.
this list of PCM's are DPC-422 ..just make sure the pcm is for a auto trans if that is what you have..


your early bird PCM can not be re flashed with what you are looking for...
All of these can be used however it may need to be reflashed depending on the PCM code you want.

Very nice Huck, reps to you. That is the first time I have seen that list.

 

Thanks Jason. That list was sent to Ron from DP Tuner. Your right the PMT codes are the most sought after, any pcm on that list can be flashed to a PMT. Are you still running an XLE4?

 

Yes I am xle4.......
