No need to run premium fuel with the Mopar PCM. I've been running a Mopar
PCM with 89 octane for over 5 years with no problems what so ever, and my
truck it modified quite a bit. Also, back when gas broke the $2 a gallon
mark I had my '99 R/T with the Mopar PCM. I swore I wasn't going to pay $2
a gallon for gas(funny how that worked out) so tried putting my stock PCM
back in to run the regular unleaded. Unfortunately, with the stock PCM, my
fuel mileage decreased to the point where I wasn't saving any money by
running the cheaper gas because I was getting worse gas mileage. Put the
Mopar PCM back in and never looked back.

Subject: DML: Changing out the ECU
Hey guys. I replaced the stock ECU computer a few years ago to the Mopar
performance ECU. The dealer in my area swapped it out because the VIN
needed to be entered into it as I understand. The performance computer did
a few things not the least of which was the requirement to run premium
fuel. With premium at 4.29 per here, I'm wanting to switch back to the
stock computer since I have kept up on a shelf in the garage. Is it simply
a "plug and play" operation? Anyone here know for sure?
