yes you would have to get your pcm reflashed to a 96 or 97 code which makes your truck run better, better glow plug logic and if your an auto guy better tranny shifts.

Thanks, Do you know where in the Seattle area the reflash can be done? and does the pin count have to be altered at the connector. Roy

Probably a dumb question and I'll probably answer it myself. I have a superchip tuner that reads codes. Now these OBD II you guys are talking about do a lot more, don't they? What exactly is a buzz test and a contribution (??) test anyway? Glenn
