so as some as you know... my 95 is an extreme mut! its got a 04 sohc motor. 00 cab, 96 frame, 76 front axle the list can go on! iam now in the process of tearing my beautiful blue 99 OHV motor out of my dd.. motor runs fine just did new heads and pushrods, rocker and rocker arm spacers on it last year ... my 95 is chipped running on the stock comp and with that beast pushing 35s and 4.88 gears it hauls a** compared to my stock 99. figured it was time to upgrade and catch the 99 up to speed. ive bought a few parts trucks the last few weeks and ive been wanting to swap to a SOHC in it. ive already swapped it to a standard. as we speak ive got the OHV out and SOHC is cleaned and gone through sitting on the stand. my biggest issue i can see in this entire swap is making the pats system happy. ive got a few options. A my buddy makes me a diablo chip with a pats delete. Voila it "should" run. B i tear the entire dash, and engine bay harness out of the 01 parts truck i have sitting next to it and spend a few hours getting that all in. and ill still be able to use my jet programmer Or C sell the programmer, dont buy the chip and wait a few weeks for a sct custom tune..... i think iam going to run with option A to start and go from there..
Figured i would let some of you know what kinda fun iam getting myself into this weekend!
