pcm swap PCM is apparently fried in my 98. Should I go with a 99+ and "attempt" the re-wiring and swapping all of my tune info over, or just find another 98 :*****:

99+ PCM is much better. If you repin the connectors for the PCM you will be better off with the newer one.
There are several how to's online for the swap.
Good luck

Thanks bmax
Ive read a few of them and they look pretty intimidating
Also read that it is not so much a straight swap. Havn't figured it all out yet
Do I just pick up any 99-00? Doesn't have to be auto etc?
Thanks

Yes, 99 and up. Part number ends in 411.
If you have the software, You can flash what ever parameters you want, manual or auto, to the new PCM.
If you look around and read some more you will find you can do the things needed to your tune.
Just make small changes until you find what works for you.
Just takes time and patience, and lots of reading.
Good luck

Fuel gauge will not work properly either. Get ahold of frost for a pcm if your planning on doing the swap. I have a 98 pcm if you decide to stay with a 98. It will need tuned though.

Thanks Kevin
I PMd him but havn't heard back yet.. Wonder what has to be changed. Ive got a line on a 99 pretty cheap, but didn't know anything had to be done them.
