I have:
1996 SWB GMC 1500 4x4 4.3 5speed (STOCK)
I obtained:
Fully Dressed Vortec 5.7 from a 97-98 chevrolet 1500 LWB 4x4 automatic
ECU
Engine Wiring Harness
Exhaust system
My question:
I want to swap the engines, and keep my 5speed tranny. Will the ECU from the auto tranny truck work in my truck without a reflash and without throwing a ton of trans codes?
From the research I have done on my own, I have found that I just have to relocate the motor mounts, replace the fan shroud from the donor truck and it will pretty much be straight forward. I just want to get a hand on the electronics portion of the swap. I want to have a sound reliable daily driver with NO Service Engine Soon Light.
