Hey SnowToy, Thanks for the response.

So i guess the bigger question to your answer is though a 5spd ecu would be ideal are there major differences between 4x2 and 4x4 seeing as a rwd donor is just a little harder to come across or so it seems. I have read through the sites you referred to and appreciate the links. I would rather find the closest donor and do any minor wiring on my own rather than dropping the money on a wiring harness. More money for beer!!

Thanks again for your response.

Keep the insight comin boys!!
