I have a Dodge Work Van 1500 with the ECU P56040 254AC and I can't find the part. Can a 2001 Dodge Durango ECU P56040 249AC work on my Van 1500? Can someone please help me out.................................................................................................................................................

First of all, what kind of problem are you trying to solve? Engine Computer failures on those vehicles are extremely rare but it's the first thing everyone jumps on.

Second, whenever a computer is sent in for repair, updates and improvements are added. That means it gets a new part number. If you're looking for a computer in a salvage yard, go according to the year, model, and engine size, not the part number.

A Durango Engine Computer is not the same thing. They are totally different, they mount in a different place, and they never had a 6-cylinder engine. You can't run a 6-cylinder engine with an 8-cylinder computer.
