replacing TCM

[Bentron]

I read on a site that you can replace a PCM/TCM with one of the same year, make, model, and transmission without having to do anything but plugging it in ... is this true?

[Bentron]

or do you need a OBDIII chrylser programmin' whatchacalls it?

i think there's something with the VIN that the stealership has to do. like some type of programming. i'll see if i can find someone to help you with this.

Hey bro, this it's not cool to ask the same question twice, just letting you know before CREWZIN gets a hold of this Reset TCM Error Code

since i replaced my tcm b/c of error p0700 and p0605 and still have that error with the re manufactured one i got off of ebay (company needed vin and mileage to flash it) does it mean i need to replace the pcm and not the tcm? or did they send me a bad tcm (that wasnt flashed properly)

The VIN for the car has to match the one in the computer. You can have that done though. ?? Maybe even the dealer can do it?? Otherwise you have to send it to a company called "FlightCraft" and get it done.
