computer swap.

can you swap computers in these trucks.
i have a 02 7.3 4x4 and was wondering if i can swap the computers from another truck.

do i have to get one from the same year? would 2 wheel or 4 wheel matter? can it even be done?

thanks.

might be needing to take it to the dealer. (my buddy is a service manager and will look past the chip and mods, but still want to be able to put in an unmolested ecu if need be)

I know that some can be swapped but im unsure on if you have to keep it the same year with the same code or not and if it matters if it 2 wheel or 4 wheel. Someone else may chime in to give you all the details.

It would need to be a PCM out of another Cali truck if your truck is a Cali truck.
