I can see that. You've got the Monster 392 beast and I've only got the little 345 that I did the refresh on myself and was able to score a 3000 mile transmission for a VERY good price. That with all my free labor, I'm pretty happy where I ended up and what I have....

I look forward to getting one mile. I don't want to figure the number though.
I don't even want to figure out what I've got into mine & it's no where near yours.
You all have HEMI'S I've just got a little ol,Magnum.
You have to be home long enough to work on it.
So in regard to SKIM. Once a SKIM module is programmed to a PCM, it can never work with any other type of PCM again. So if your SKIM module originally worked with your Jeep PCM, no amount of programming is going to make it work with the Hemi PCM. It’s good for your Jeep PCM and Jeep PCM only.
The other issue is now that you’ve tried to start your Jeep with the module still plugged in, the Hemi PCM now knows there is a SKIM module present and won’t start until the problem is resolved, even if you unplug the module. You’ll have to get it turned back off in the PCM, and disconnect the present SKIM module for it to work properly. Or buy a new SKIM module and keys and get it programmed to your Hemi PCM.
That’s all assuming I’m reading the issue here correctly.

What year HEMI ECM do you you have? Is it from a truck? Did you supply it or did you buy it from Hotwire?
Not that any of that makes a difference, I'm just curious.
I don't know much about SKIM to know if the donor ECM also has to have SKIM or not. I used the one that came with my engine. I can't remember if Chris asked me if the Jeep had SKIM (grey key head cover) or not, since it's been a while now.. I'm sure something will get figured out..
I can completely understand your frustration.
So UPS screwed us up a little. Shipping the computer back to Hotwires was supposed to be 2 day shipping. Shipped it out Friday so they’d get it today, update to take care of SKIM and turn it around same day. So in a perfect world we’d see it Wednesday. It didn’t leave Tennessee till today so hopefully it’ll be to them and back by the end of the week. Just in time for me to head out of town
. O well. We’ll see it when it gets back.
. O well. We’ll see it when it gets back.Nope! Had to go out of town Thursday afternoon. Never heard from the shop so I’m assuming the computer didn’t make it back in. I’ll touch base with them Monday though and find out what’s going on.
She’s alive! ECU came back in this morning and it was running minutes later. The ticking noise is the inspection plate making contact with the starter so we will get that fixed tomorrow and hopefully should have it on the dyno Wednesday to get everything cleaned up. They really haven’t had time to let everything run and get up to operating temperature but we do know that reverse in first gear work so that’s a positive. Will get it out tomorrow and take it around the block to make sure everything is good before a few dyno hits. It is quite a bit louder than I thought it was going to be so I’ll have to quiet it down eventually. I’ll post some driving videos tomorrow and when we make it to the dyno.
Awesome...
I know that feeling when it starts up and stays running.!!!!
It'll be worth the wait for sure..
Oh yeah, as far as the loudness, don't worry it'll get much louder when you drive it and can't stay off the juice pedal..
And... You'll need to practice speed shifting, something you never had to worry about before with the 4.0L.

I’m not gonna mind it at all, but every morning I know my wife will be thrilled when I start it in the garage and head out for the day.
And that's our job to keep them thrilled.... What ever it takes..
