Automatic or Manual?
Auto will be TDE1 (VCAB0_02) and manual will be MLE1 (VDAB0_02). You have no choice in it.

well...the reason I am flashing the truck is thru searches here ans elsewhere the common thoughts on a '95 is they aren't OBII compliant...and the newer flash is said to make a smoother running truck....oh...and when its time to chip it, the PCM will need at least '96 for the chip/tuner communicates...they also quoted me 1.5 hrs for an AIC install...but I'm torn on buying that or waiting and have a high idle burned on the chip/tuner...thanks for the help guys...

The new flash WILL allow OBD2 devices to work. Don't expect a smoother running truck though. Everything will be the same otherwise for a manual but an automatic will shift quite a bit different.
What is your current PCM code?

My PMs are turned off.
The way I look at it is that if you can't say something in public, you probably shouldn't say it in private.
To answer your question, "no". I can't personally reflash a PCM as I don't have the hardware to do so.
There are a few tuning companies that can though.

Also, most forums have rules about some communications that should ONLY be by PM. I don't remember if it applies here on FTE, but on many forums, when a member is looking to buy or sell something, it's okay to mention it in open forum, but when it comes to prices and money matters, they require you to communicate by PM.
