That is true about the cancellation. P5007196, P5007197, P5007198,
P5007213. I don't believe the reasoning (EPA problems) behind it is true.
Maybe that's what DC is telling people. Oh well, moot point, I guess.
If you have a 2000 4.7 or 5.9 and are serious about wanting custom flashing
done, e-mail me privately, and we can talk. If you have a 2001 and up
engine, for the time being, there is nothing that can be done and there is
nothing in the works.

Subject: DML: MP computer for 4.7 canceled
Got this on Mopar Chat Dakota Forum:
Each day at work I check for the release date on the PCM for the
4.7's...part number P5007196.
Today they showed it went to NS7 status. Yesterday it was showing 16 on
special handling, and 32 on daily orders.
NS7 means it's not available.
I called Chrysler tech, they said it has been dropped because it could not
pass the EPA tests. "It was too dirty."
I asked if they were going to reconfigure the PCM to pass, they said they
would not waste the time and money for further testing. They said that in
order to pass the EPA standard, it wouldn't give enough of a power increase
to justify the price they would have to charge for the PCM.
If any of you have put money down with a dealership, go get it back.
I just thought everyone would want to know.
Later,
Jeff C.
