dmax2888 09-06-2009, 02:26 AM ppe makes a stand alone kit i think... or go to for sale section for sale max 02 09-06-2009, 12:51 PM Hey Branchalm,have you talked to Ted at MPL,they are in Lacombe near Kal tire. JD4440 09-06-2009, 01:18 PM Call kennedy diesel or one of our EFI vendors for an ECM. PPE"s kit is just the harness I believe. thefermanator 09-06-2009, 02:17 PM The ECM/TCM's in the conversions are still stock for the most part. I'm using the stock 01 units in mine with EFILIVE to make the ECM work as a stand-alone, and I'm working with BRAYDEN now to try and get the bugs out of the TCM to work as stand-alone. The TCM will work, but tow/haul mode in them stock is through the BCM. O/D lock-out on the 01-02's is on a seperate circuit through the TCM, but 03-04 is through the BCM. PPE takes a stock harness and modifys it to work in whatever application you want it to work in. I modified my own harness as wiring is easy for me to do as I have all of the tools and know how. If you don't have a donor you are going to run into ALOT of parts that will nickel and dime you to death in trying to do this swap. I highly reccomend getting Bigley's conversion guide frome the page and start there. I also have a decent write up on mine over at DTR regarding several of the hurdles I encountered.

Or look for a WHOLE donor truck for a WHOLE wiring harness. PM me for Curtis cell number if intrested | ||
