Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) ecm test

246k 01
I have 3 electronic engines.
Can I use any ofthe units on my 01 automatic?
1 is from 4x4 2000 model.
The other comes from a uniform teuck engine with allison gear.

I have a spare ECM for my '02 that is out of a truck with A/T, it works fine, but sets a dash light relative to the "missing" A/T - otherwise, it's perfectly usable, and presumably, a dealer could re-flash it for my manual transmission if needed...

Perhaps yours would do the same. Is the 4x4 also A/T? If so, might work without problem...

Is there a way to run the engine on the floor out of the truck? How would i get the ecm to operate the engine. Help

the 2000 auto ecm should be fine on an early 2001 auto engine

Gary, The dealer can't change auto to manual software. I could bench flash it for you. No charge of course.

Bob, thanks for the generous offer, I'll give it serious consideration, wasn't aware the dealers couldn't do it - very kind of you!

Is there a way to run the 01 5.9 on the floor. How to wire the ECM info would be awesome.

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

Are you talking about running an engine for a short test, or some sort of a fixed position power source?

Naturally, the engine CAN be operated independently from a vehicle, and DOES in various industrial/commercial applications - generators, pumps and such - but the heavy stand and related hookups for engine cooling and such sorta discourage doing all that merely for a brief test...

I would think you could power up the injection pump and supply it fuel and also supply power to lift pump itll run right?

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

Pretty questionable, the injection pump requires timing signals from the ECM to function, and the ECM looks for various engine sensors to operate...

cummins has a vp pump tester that powers up the pump via the battery. I sold mine to source many years ago. do a search for vp44 tester
