Yep, plus that '99 Durango PCM is going to expect to run a 46RE
transmission - its an electronically controlled transmission run by
the PCM, as opposed to the '95 and earlier PCMs which expect to be
connected to the 46RH, which is hydraulically controlled and the
connection between the trans and PCM is minimal. (Basically just the
OD lockout, I believe?) As Mike recommended, if you get a 5-speed PCM
the trans connection is even more minimal.
