Hey guys

The whole xr6t thing is new to me... I have bought a auto motor including harness and computer.

About too put it into my manual 4wd so can I get the computer reflashed too suit a manual or do I need a manual computer? The harness will be customized too suit any of my requirements so that isn't a issue!

Thanks in advance

You wont. Disable PATS. Feed it the required power and earths, flash a manual config and tune into it and do skids in you GU.

Envy's choice. There's plenty of cars getting around with Engine transplants and Ford PCM's in them without issue.

Just because 1 tune shop does or doesn't do something doesn't make it right or wrong does it Jetster

IE: 1x044?

nah jet ralphy is right. the pats is the system that needs comms to the bem and other modules to work. disable it and you can use the pcm in any car.

its only a recent thing though. people opt to stay away from the ford pcm cause they have no idea what to do with it.

I just don't know if a ford tuner would let a muddy 4by on their dyno. better clean her good bud.
