Anyone have or have heard about any experience with it?

It looks interesting, it lets you program EVERYTHING with just Yes or No questions, which I don't know how that is pulled off... Would it be a good thing to throw money down on? Or would it be better to just get a Mopar Performance PCM?

And, besides, I have a 3.9L and the Power Programmer III only lists that it works on 5.2/5.9L's at www.truckperformance.com

Here's the details:
Power Programmer III

Increasing horsepower and torque is as simple as pushing a button with Hypertech's Power Programmer III! You simply plug the Power Programmer into the underdash diagnostic plug, answer a series of Yes/No questions, and the Power Programmer does the rest. The Power Programmer is much more than a tuning chip - it is a self-contained automotive tuning computer. When you connect the Power Programmer to your vehicle, its smart program instantly recognized your vehicle's powertrain by reading its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN contains specific information on the engine, transmission, and drivetrain, which the Power Programmer decodes before it downloads the Power Tuning program that is precisely tailored to your car or truck. The Power Programmer is incredibly powerful, but it is also incredibly easy to use. Reprogramming does not require any tools or knowledge of cars or even computers - plus you can return to OEM stock programming in just minutes. The Programmer does not void factory warranty and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Hypertech Power Tuning: Tunes the engine for maximum power and performance, plus potential gas mileage improvements

Dual Fuel Tuning: Lets you choose tuning for 87 octane or 93 octane fuel

Engine Rev Limiter: Extends the engines RPM range for a wider power band

Top-Speed Limiter: Allows the vehicle's top speed to be matched to the speed rating of factory approved high-performance tires

Speedometer/Odometer Correction: Automatically corrects speedometer and odometer readings with non-stock tire sizes and/or non-stock rear-end gear ratios

HP & Torque: 15-25 HP/15-25 ft lbs Torque

Installation: Plugs into diagnostic port below the dash next to the steering column. The programmer has a LCD display screen which will ask what parameters of the computer you want to change. No tools are required. Programming takes approximately 10 minutes and can be reprogrammed at any time.

So it's not worth the $300-something they charge for it?
