Holy caps lock batman.

You *can* disconnect it, but in 1996 I believe it was it was required that anything that is not functioning properly which can effect emissions needed to throw a code. This means if you simply pop the connector on CAGS then it'll throw a code and your emissions light will come on. You need to use the dongle w/a resistor that mimics the CAGS electrical current to prevent codes from being thrown. That, or disable via Predator Tune.

I'm not sure if CAGS/Skip-Shift is listed at dodge.com but it's mentioned on allpar.com
