G'Day all just short of a month of daily driver on my FS1 PCM and I have had zero issues. Throttle response is much better and with that the Jeep is much tends to use more fuel when getting on it!
Avoid these guys like the plague. Signed up here to prevent folks from going thru what I did. Diagnosed a bad PCM. Gave these guys a shot. Website says 1-3 business days. 21 days later.....Customer service the worst. I’m a reasonable guy but it appears that it’s set up to frustrate. Told three times pcm was gonna be sent out in 1-2 business days. Canceled order on voicemail box and disputed charge. Got a shipping notice. Told emailer I canceled order. Emailer said ignore email it was sent by mistake. Something showed up today plugged into-Jeep of course it doesn’t work. Runs for two seconds shuts down. GarbageNot sure about this company , but they have them in stock.

robsam, I purchased my replacement PCM from ModuleGods back in Oct 18. Week turn around and has been flawless. Approaching 4500 miles. Talk to Kasey tell him LafitteJeep sent youHas anybody found a good reliable shop to rebuild the ECM? I bought one from Flagship one they claim its a lifetime warranty. well I am having problems with my ECM for the second time and its just a hassle trying to get them to answer emails or phone calls, even when they answer I can't get a return label so that it can be replaced. Do you all know of where to re-build my original ECM?

You wont know until it happens, Signs are hard to read and could also point to many things like wire damage, faulty relays, bad battery, fuel pump, crank shaft sensor and cam position sensor. Mostly 05-06 4.0 automatics. Mostly with not throwing any codes. Most popular is the hard shifting between 1st and 2nd gears. Engine shut down, false high temp reading from tranny, not able to get out of limp mode. I threw parts at it, fuel pump, crank shaft and cam sensors. Brought it to a mechanic scanned weird high temps in tranny which sent me to a tranny shop and they changed filter and check tranny and they sent me to the Jeep Dealership cause they believed it was the PCM. Dealership said the PCM was the problem. Dealership said wait was months down the line. I found ModuleGods online. Service was great week later new PCM. Installed , started right up and never looked back.Asking for a friend; who wonders, since he never had this problem, how you know a PCM is bad?

First, hello all. First time poster here. Excited to learn from you guys.
2000 Wrangler Sport 4.0 140k - Ok, so I got the dreaded "check gauges" light. Battery dying. No other CELs. Long story short, alternator is not charging. No other problems.
Alternator bench tested good, continuity on all wires good, grounds good, fuses good, batt temp sensor good, fusible link good, brand new battery, etc. So all that was left is PCM internal regulator must be bad.
I sent off my PCM to G7 and they returned with, "Computer is unable to be repaired. Pin-out test was performed and was determined that the damage is too extensive for repair, as the fault was traced back to the main chip which cannot be repaired or replaced."
So, any advice from you guys on what to do next? Replace with reman unit from FS1 or ModuleGods?
Think this would fix my problem? If so, which place? I see FS1 has theirs for $179.99 and ModuleGods doesn't have a price listed.
Thanks for any and all ideas guys. I'm fairly new to the Jeep world and I'm at my wits end on what to do now. Ready to get this thing back on the road for Spring and doing a small build.
Chris, thanks for the reply. On the FS1 site, it looks like the 05-06 model pcm's sell for $750-825.
I found my model "plug and play" for $179.99 Shocking to me, and quite a price difference if this is correct.

I purchased min from ModuleGods back n Oct. 4500 miles and not looking back.
Are you sure that price isn't for a rebuild? That seems too good to be true.
That's what I was thinking, but the ad/link says different.
