hey guys i happen to have an odd ball ecm #16146299 ($99), out of a 92' c1500, they only used this ecm one year, sadly i cannot datalog since winaldl doesnt support this ecm and i cannot find an ads file for tunerpro r/t. So i guess i have to switch over to a differnet ecm, my questions are will ecm #1227747 ($42) or #1228746 ($61) work with my application, i mean just plug right in, i dont want to have to re-wire anything or get a new wiring harness? My other question is if both of these are compatable, which would be the better one to use?

I have actually gotten WinALDL to datalog the 16146299 ECM and $99 mask. I forget which ECM selection in WinALDL actually worked but if you play with it, it will work well enough to do what you want. HTH

That PCM was for a manual, if I recall correctly, so for Off Highway Use, the 747 should be fine. Might even go to an EBL one, and then have some good code to run in it. And the EGL comes with some dynamite HUD software.

Either will take rewiring, but the payoff is well worth it. You can't imagine how good the EBL is.
