Ya gotta buy it yourself. No dealer freebie.

Here's a quote from a member(battman) at Thirdgen.org concerning the VIN # question. "You can program any vin you like in the 0411 PCM. so yes you can change your ecm and os and still retain the original vin."

Where I live they don't test the exhuast anymore. They just test at the OBDII port, so I just need to have it functioning and error code free. Engine size, intake design, and emission cotrols don't matter just as long as they aren't triggering codes. I'm still trying to figure out the VIN # issue th...

Well I was wrong it's been done. It's done by using the 0411 computer that came with the '02-'03 astro-safari's & '01-'02 express-savanas. You could use any 0411 computer but the express-savanas have the programing already on them where any of the others would have to be reflashed. This is the c...

OK, Thanks.

Yeah, I know what you mean. "Captain were running on impulse power" (said in Scotty from Star Track voice).

So you probably couldn't use it to turn a V6 computer into a V8 computer. So for a swap you would just register your VIN to a donor computer?

I recieved my ScanGauge II and as I feared it did not support TFT(Transmission Fluid Temperature), but it does have a lot of other features. I had one stored code P0144 Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit High Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 3. I'll keep my eye on that one. I cleared it and it hasn't come back. I dr...

I emailed Linder Technical Services and asked "Do you know how much fuel a injector(on the mini-injector setup) put out in #/Hr?" I got a response from Doug Garriott "The Injector Wizard" (his title on his emails) "Don't know exact spec, but when I flow them out they act lik...

CFSI.. that's knows as poor mans fuel injection. That's got a single fuel injector with a bunch of poppet valves at each cylinder. You are confusing Central Port Injection (CPI) with Central Sequential Fuel Injection (CSFI). Both use poppets, but CSFI has a injector for each cylinder centrally loca...

I actually have one of those tuner packages & am experimenting with it. There is ALOT of tunability in there... I see you also have swapped a V8. How does that work with the licensing? If you purchased it for your vin number does it think your running a V6? Did you use the vin # and computor of...

Sweet deal indeed.

I looked up the transaction because after rereading $200 did seem cheap and it was there was $83 of shipping so more like $283 still a pretty good deal. I just don't want to be misleading.

With things being like that with the VAT the best thing to do is get the truck running with the swapped PCM from the V8 and get the truck running as good as possible then datalog the truck running in a few different scenerios. Then send off the vehicles original V6 PCM with the datalog info and have...

Here ya guys go. Bill did have some pics on the wiring changes he made too. http://astrosafarivans.org/bb2/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=188 That's a good thread, but it's not what the original post was about "Vortec 4.3 to Vortec V8". That post is about a 4.3 CPI(not CSFI) to V8 TBI. It's not ...

I'm glad I have a '97 with none of the above!
