I have a 2000 wrangler with a 99dakota swap and someone stole my pcm. How can I find out which pcm I need to get the right one. Also when I get used pcm do I give my tj vin to be programmed to the Dakota pcm thanks in advance
What PCM do I need for engine swap?

@Wranglerfix www.wranglerfix.com Call Mark and he can set you up with a new PCM.
Any wiring damage?
Most folks who'll steam a PCM would cut the harness even though unplugging the connectors is faster.

Since it has a Dakota engine and presumably transmission I suspect you need a Dakota PCM. WranglerFix might know the answer but I bet a Wrangler PCM is not what you need. But, I don’t know for certain as I don’t know much about the Dakotas.
Mark @Wranglerfix does more than just TJ PCMs.
My buddy's OBS Ford 7.3 diesel needed a PCM and Mark fixed him right up.
I'm guessing they've got a few dozen websites and DBAs.

Top of the morning to you from soggy South Florida. We do not have a bunch of DBA’s. I cut my teeth with Diesel ecms when I first started and ur never left me.
I think the 99 Dakota Ecm is what you need what size engine?
PS
If you have ever owned a Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram and not changed the computer, you have not owned it long enough.
Thanks,
Mark

So true. I’ve had a few Dodge work vehicles and at least one of them got a new PCM under warranty.
What makes Dodge PCMs fail at such a higher rate than other companies?
The wiring looms are always an issue on all DCJR vehicles. A bad battery and a loose ground can blow a computer halfway to Tupelo, Mississippi!
To protect yourself and your rig go back to the basics-
Clean all grounds, clean and polish your battery terminals (like your Sunday school shoes) and check the loom for cracks and failures.
These TJ’s are now another year older and a little TLC will assure they make it a lot longer!
