you really dont know what other snags you might run into with the stock computer and the rest of the truck
I'm not too familiar with the MS but I have been reading alot and I had a chance to talk to dieselgeek today (thanks for your time). I REALLY like the thought of going with a Megasquirt set up. That said, what "other snags" could we run into? My truck is getting a tune now that includes much improved tranny function- could I keep some parts of the tune I have and add what I need of the megasquirt????

Thanks

to hook up the megasquirt you will have to cut the ground side of the injectors and take those to the megasquirt. the stock computer might notice that you cut those wires and set a some kind of code. if it does see the cut wires and gets upset about it then you might have to try and fool the computer into thinking those wires still goto the injectors, something like wire in some resistors.

same goes for the ignition, not sure what the stock computer will think of you taking over. it might not care at all.

Hope not

Thanks for the PM pointing me in the right direction. When I get my truck back, if the tune isn't exactly as I want, it'll probably be on a trailer coming to a town near you dieselgeek will get to figure out what the stock pcm likes and dislikes

Hope he can figure it out. I'm betting that we meet pretty soon.
