Installation and limitations

Install the gateway bypass at the STAR connectors behind the dash, plug in the dongle and connect the app; it reads the vehicle information needed for the swap and sends you to the PCM swap form, where you enter your VIN. A $1.01 pre-authorization is taken and the unlocked PCM ships to you. Save the stock calibration, install the new PCM, load a tune, and return the original in the packaging provided. Not for use in California.

Frequently asked questions

How does DiabloSport get my VIN?

Through the PCM swap form inside the PredatorX app, after the dongle reads your vehicle. Nothing is needed at checkout.

Why is a gateway bypass included?

2018 and newer Mopar vehicles have a security gateway that blocks writes to the PCM through the OBD-II port. The included harness bypasses it so the dongle can flash the tune.

Does it fit a 6-speed Ram Classic?

No. DiabloSport does not support PCM swaps on 6-speed Rams. The kit covers the 8-speed 5.7L.

Do I have to send my old PCM back?

Yes. It is an exchange and DiabloSport covers the return shipping. Return it within their stated window or the pre-authorization becomes a charge.
