Wow seems like a couple of these threads poppin up this week. It can be done, there are some sensors that are different. I know that the temperature sensor is different but I don`t know if any other sensors are different, I never actually switched one over. The computer pinouts are different, you can rearrange them but from what I heard it is time consuming. I read in a post from speartech that every time he has repinned one he swares he will never do it again.

I don`t think you can just get a new 2001 harness because I believe that the pins are also different at the dash cluster, mabey even the connector is different, but I have never seen a 98 or 01 harness so I can`t tell you for sure.
