Re: NEED HELP

Reflash the truck PCM to a manual tune and use a vacuum lockup switch from BTO

You will probably get better advice on the swap from a performance truck forum than on here because the CFI swaps are rather uncommon. Most use the longblock with a better induction setup

Re: NEED HELP

You would also need the TV cable bracket from BTO. The vacuum lockup switch can also be had cheaply from TCI, and theirs is adjustable, or if you want a more complete kit with good instructions, there's the Painless version.
