97 motor swap
I have a plain jane 97 truck with a 4.3...Motor is bad so I found a new one from a 2000. As far as I can tell the only difference is in the computer. My truck is a 5 speed and the 2000 came with an auto. I talked to a mchanic at the dealer and he thought it would be fine to use the 97 computer as it would be trying to recognize a 5 speed and the 2000's would want an auto. This truck is just a work truck that we use and abuse. Any suggestions or potential solutions for problems would be appreciated!
Thanks |

Re: 97 motor swap
Use all of the wiring and computer from the 97. The wiring may be compatable, but why risk it when all you need is a different motor.
