it says its for the 99-03s but will it work on a 98? and if it does would it work on a 5 speed? and are they good setups? theres one in the local classifieds near me for half the price of one new,

 

I have seen quite a few 98s that it will actually work on, but I'd need to know the vehicles calibration ID to say for sure.

Can you tell me the box code on the PCM?

 

i will look tonight, im assuming its the only big number on the pcm whihc is under the passenger kick panel?

 

There should be a 4-digit box code onthe PCM, that will suffice short of having a tool to read the calid out of the PCM.

 

is there any other way to check the pcm, i dont see any codes or nothing at all unless im looking at the wrong silver box and it looks like its wedge in there pretty good so taking it out looks like to much work lol, would scanning it with a code reader work?

 

some code readers may be able to display the calibration ID.

 

i will get the info, i really will, i just need to get my truck back from aamco first...

 

No prob, I'll be around...

 

Passenger side dooor jam near hinges. There should be a white sticker with a code on it unless it has fallen off of your old truck.

 

oki from whats left of the sticker it looks like it says HLK2 does that sound right?

 

Yes that is your base code. It is a good starting point. If you have been reflashed though it may be different. It is not the hex code though. You will need a programmer to pull the hex code if they need it.

 

ok noob question but whats a hex code, and how do i know if my ecu has been reflashed? and a actual programer or just a obd2 reader? im almost leaning towards that edge evoluton cts thing though, sounds like i can leave it hooked up to my truck and use it as a speedometer, as i cant figure out why my speedo no work

 

To simplify it the hex code is like the version of firmware your computer is running. You will need a programmer to read it. Speak with the vendor you are buying the programmer from and he will tell you what he needs.

 

its not from a vendor, its a private sale over classifieds, thats why im not sure about anything to do with it i dont even know if the guy still has it,
