Koller and Westoaks Dodge both sell the SBEC for $240, and both offer the
$100 rebate, total cost $140. A new, stock computer, i.e. the one in your
dakota right now, costs $400 to replace. You cannot tow with the MP SBEC.
You must run 93 octane, possibly w/ a 180 tstat w/ the MPSBEC. SO...if you
plan on ever towing or taking long trips, trading in the stock computer
would be a bad thing.
