The reason I said manual pcm is because I have an auto pcm in my 5-speed crew cab and it lopes when started. Since the C6 doesn't "talk" to the pcm, I figured use a manual one to avoid the lopeing.
I'm told it lopes because its searching for the trans range sensor.

Edit: Oh, I see you already know that's a possibility. I don't know what causes it for sure, but I've heard people say that it's the lack of a MLPS that causes the lope. So I guess using a manual PCM could be a good way to circumvent that.

Heck, I'm running a manual transmission off of a Automatic PCM. Works just fine.

What did the pre-94.5 diesels use for vacum that had the C6 behind them?

Not on a diesel. Diesels don't produce vacum. Mark posted earlier that they had a vacum pump.

Read page 3 mark explains it all...the idi engines used a vacuum regulator hooked to the injection pump for a vacuum reference for the C6. No idea what the PSD used yet as they didn't have an injection pump.

If Mark decides to chime back in I'm sure he can correct me.
But they are basically the same except the E4OD has overdrive.
The newer 4R100 used behind the diesels came with 6 pinion steel planets vs 3 or 4 pinion (I don't recall exactly) alum planets in the E4 and C6, so the 4R are even stronger.
