[the_duk]

oh well it was free.

98 had a different PCM than the 97, they were very simmilar, but still different.

I have a 98 and would pay shipping if you want to get rid of it.

Can the PCM's be swapped?

Can the PCM's be swapped?

sure it could be done, but rewiring the PCM just to use a hypertech? not worth it at all. there are a good amount of changes from 97 to 98 that would need to be dealt with in the PCM that a hypertech wouldn't be able to do. if anyone is going to swap PCM's just do the 411...

I was asking for different reasons, being that I want to run EFILive in the future and have a 97 model vehicle, and it doesn't support the pre 98 Vortec PCM's. I know about the 0411 swap, just was seeing if there was something more plug and play than rewiring pinouts on my harness.

rewiring would be a pia
