Nope...DC doesn't seem to be following that trend (yet)...thankfully.
BTW: For those on this list with the 5.7L vehicles - Magnum/Charger/300 as
a daily playtoy, Mopar Performance has released their Performance PCM and
TCM's (and they work VERY well). There's a bunch of new stuff in the 2007
Mopar Performance catalog (and CD) that wasn't there last year.

Ugh. One step forward, two steps back. :-( How about the "black
box" type stuff which seems to be creating all sorts of privacy controversy
lately - any of that in there?
