A 93 PCM would be the best solution. A 94-95 PCM will also work, but it will
pop a code. I have one in my truck after I swapped engines. It triggers a
transmission temp code. However - the 92-93 trucks did not have a sensor. I
suspect the Rams did.

There was a guy on dusa or dak-dur selling a MP PCM for the 94-95 Rams
recently, it might still be available.

All I did was use my 92 V8 harness and transfer over the appropriate sensors.
Whatever you do - pull the CPS out of the back of the block before you yank the
engine. I didn't do that and snapped it in half.
