    Are you certain your issue is SKIM related? Usually SKIM system will allow the vehicle to start and run for a short period of time (something like 3 seconds) , then shut off. However, after a certain number of attempts at starting with SKIM shutting things down, it will not allow startup at all.

    I would LOVE to help with testing SKIM removal.... We are perfect test subjects... installing Hellcats into Rams and doing Jeep swaps etc. Busy with Jeep JK and Hellcat swap with 8 speed auto and desperately need skim remover from GPEC2A

    best regards.
    How does this work? Example: if i want to do a custom swap with jeep jk engine/trans, if i order a new pcm it will not have SKIM?

    Yes, correct, however please note that if you forget to unplug/remove the old SKIM module, or if you accidentally plug one in, the PCM will detect it and activate SKIM. Once that happens you are back to square one and dealing with skim again. So make sure you remove the module and make sure you never connect one again. Removing the module and cutting the connector off the wires and securing them will keep you safe from some unknowing mechanic noticing unplugged wires and doing you a 'favour' by plugging it in again.

    Bringing this one back, because i?m Hoping someone has something for me.

    I?ve got a 2016 Challenger R/T engine in a ?70 Cuda, but it won?t fire its own injectors. I flipped the switches for SKIM disable in the tune. Anything else I ought to turn on or off to get it fire off?

    ?I also removed the smog equipment in the tune (egr and air pump disable) and removed the codes for smog equipment.?

    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.
