Posting up for Reuben,
Suggestions for PCM tuning please.
I decided to do the swap my self because the shop that was going to do it was charging me 4k for it and I just don’t have that kind of money.My job is letting me yous all there tools and the shop to do it it yesterday I pulled the trans and all the drive line out next Saturday I’m pulling the motor.I have a couple of questions Tho,are the motor mounts the same or do I need to take the v6 mounts out and weld v8 ones in, also I found a computer on eBay for a 5.0 manual trans with pats off for $250 but I’m wanting the rear o2s off because I’m not going to run cats and don’t want the cel on would it be dificulta to get it flashed for that, or should I just reflash my computer for everything I need.I was wondering how this is going?
Ok so the motor mounts are in the same spot just there different from v6 and v8?also would anyone know what a good place to send the computer or what website I could yous to do the tuning. And last thing how would I go about the cross member and trans mount, is there slot of fabrication involved?Motor mounts are held in place with a nut. That is an item you buy new, just get a set for a 99 explorer 5.0. Use the explorer V8 computer and get the tuned the way you want.
Yes I saved everything from that truck and it was a 4.2 v6Crossmember will remain in the same place I believe, it does with the V8 auto to manual swap. The center hump is 2 inches too high when bolted up so you would either have to cut the center down 2 inches and weld the top back on or make one out of C channel. Did you save the crossmember from the F150? If so post a picture. Also I don't remember did that truck have a 4.2L V6?
Im searching everywhere and can’t seem to find a place to either send my computer to get programmed or a web site where I can tune it, I’ve seen forscan come up a lot but from what I’ve read I don’t think it can re program a computer for what I need and it said something about extended liscence I would need to do it .Yes I saved everything from that truck and it was a 4.2 v6
Rick mentioned this above.I see that Torrie at Unleashed Tuning is mentioned in the forums quite a bit.
I looked at there web site and it just looked like a place to but performance parts and chips, I may be wrong thoRick mentioned this above.
