Subject: programable pcm's???
IP: Logged

Message:
I just swapped a 5.2L for a 5.9L in a 97 dak. thing is i need a pcm that will run this 5.9L to its potential. the stock computer will run it, but not properly.i have searched all over the web and can't find a pcm for this swap. they never made a 97 with a 5.9L. so does anyone know where to find a pcm for this or even a programable one, or even some advice on how to compensate for the bigger motor?

did you ever think maybe they never made a 97 dak with a 5.9L. Pcm needs to be compatible with my bcm,and please if anyone is going to respond please have a clue as to what you're saying! and yes i have done extensive research as to what, if any , stock pcm's could do the job and none are a match.There is alot more to it than just plugging in a 5.9L pcm out of a doner ride. Just to let you know I am an A.S.E. master certified tech, so i do know a little about this sort of thing.

Don't know, but look at this ? If the injectors are the same size in both motors, could you try bigger injectors in the 5.9 ? Just a guess.

found the pcm i needed ,plugged it in and all is well.Perfect 13.7 air fuel mix, and this truck screams!!! Only thing is that it set me back $500,but with performance like this, its well worth every penny.

Did you find a Marty special or B&G? Just curious on where you found one. I'm planning on getting mine flashed for all my mods. The stocker and MP pcm just won't cut it and need the tweaking.
