    I started this thread a long time ago. HP tuners does not see the value in SKIM removal as we do. I have been able to deactivate vats on Gm engine swaps for years, but no dice on the Chrysler side. I begged and begged for years so I gave up the ghost and went to other venues instead of spending client money with hP tuners.

    what ta do?
    I have a customer with an 03 ram big cam can't tune throughout
    so he installed an 05 ECU, I read vehicle
    license vehicle and then wrote entire with both skim disabled
    vehicle cranks over but no injector ground pulse
    after further discussion
    customer shorted pin 38 to ground to enable starter relay
    which leads me to believe that Skim is not letting it crank
    what should we dso now?

    That sucks there is still no way around it. I have a 2012 ram i'm trying to fire up on a stand. I cant believe that there's no way around it, or even an option to reset skim.

    There?s plenty of ecm shops that you can send the ecm out to to have it done.

    I ended up sending it to http://www.bgperformance.com/ to take it off for $130. It only took a little more than a week to get it back. In VCM scanner before i sent it off it said "SKIM Learned". In VCM Editor SKIM was set to disabled, but SKIM Capable was set to enabled. After getting it back VCM Scanner says "SKIM Unknown", and in VCM Editor both SKIM and SKIM Capable are set to disabled. Now I Just have to figure out why my hemi wont start on the stand.

    *Edit: In VCM Scanner "SKIM Status" still says "SKIM Learned"

    I would be intrested in beta testing of SKIM reset/delete.

    just using hp editor, under the system tab, in general is SKIM able and disable, click on disable in both boxes, make sure if you have a SKIM module it's unplugged, the flash the ECM, done

    Is anyone else able to confirm a successful skim removal? I'm reluctant to burn up credits trying.

    Not sure I even understand the point of disabling skim. So you can use unprogramed keys/fobs? PCM swap without Vin writing?

    In the newer years where BCM and RFHubs are used this is next to impossible as the skim is used in many modules. The older years I could see it where the skim and win modules are used. But still don?t get the point of it.

    You want to get past skim... buy a OBDX+ and AlfaOBD and goto your dealer with your insurance papers and ask the parts/service dept. for your skim code. You can program and initialize most modules that require skim codes.

    That's interesting. Guess I'll be calling my buddy at the dealer later today to ask about my skim code and my fob PIN.

    Can you use AlphaOBD on a 2015+ to change a VIN or satisfy SKIM when using a PCM (or any other module) from a salvage yard for repair?

    I believe most people want to eliminate SKIM to simplify the wiring harness and modules needed when retrofitting an older vehicle with current drive train and a factory PCM/TCM.
    If in doubt, multiply everything by 1.1.

    Sorry for the possible wrong placement of post please just hear me out.
    Hi, the name is Boz. I have a 2005 300c SRT8 car number 44. The gauges and winshield wiper harness caught fire on Christmas Eve with my wife and I in the car. Under the hood is fine and still original including wire harnesses. I have changed the complete dash and all modules on the interior. I?ve connected my old ass Diablo tuner to it and connected with my ecm and successfully restored my original back up. Now when the lock smith tries to reprogram a wireless control module, or SKIM, or whatever it is, he can?t connect to my pcm/ecm to change the vin in the module. He took the module saying he?s going to manually insert my vin in the module at his shop and that I must have a connection error somewhere. Well the car started and ran for a couple seconds three times. So it has to have some type of ability to run. Any help y?all can give me would be greatly appreciated. I?ve never done something this in-depth but I?m pretty far along to the point that when my Braum seats come in, in a couple weeks I should be ready for inspection to get her road legal again. My only dilema (so far) is this bullshit anti theft and SKIM crap. I?m no rocket scientist just a guy trying to bring this thing back to life. There?s a lot of sentimental value attached even tho I haven?t owned it long. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I?m am sorry for the long post but this is the first thread I?ve come across where it seems like I could get some help. Thank y?all.
