I was told awhile back that a 94.5 computer wont be able to use a chip like the 95 and up can use and that you have to order a performance computer. Any truth to that?

 

I am not sure about that exact question but I do believe there is a difference when it comes to the "Cali" models

 

As best I can recall there are 3 PCM configurations: 94.5-95, 96-97 49 state models, and 96-97 CA emissions. There are several calibration codes for each.

 

send it to dp tuners and have it flashed to what ever you want

 

You should be able to run a chip in a 94.5

 

Ya, my understanding was if it's a powerstroke, it is electronically controlled and you can use a chip on it. The model prior was still a mechanical control.

 

You can chip it...

 

Ok, thanks, Now how about scanners? lol. Would any of then read them right? Is it OBD2?

 

You should have an OBDII port but the computer might need to be reflashed to be OBDII compliant..

 

Who would you recommend for that kinda work?

 

Stealership unfortunately

 

yuck

 

dp tuners can open the obd2 port in your pcm. it does not have to go to a dealership. they can also write single tunes in it if you want only one tune

 

My 95 had to have a 96 pcm put in to accept the superchip,this is info Prevoius owner told me,as far as flashing I dont know but I can say the old superchip is outdated but WOW! Ive had it in and out many times,the shifting is smoother without but I cant deal with it out,the power is to awesome.When it dies Ill upgrade!!

 

Can I swap a later computer into mine? That will plug right in and work?
