Just like on Dean's and Bevin's systems, since these guys all have automatic setups, I was of course expecting to run into computer codes for various Autotranny related issues.

Marlin's system however, being a bit more naive than Dean's and Bevin's, only reported two trouble codes compared to Dean's 4 and Bevin's 6 codes. But we don't even have both O2 sensors hooked up nor the VSV purge tank valves either, so obviously many more codes would be thrown right now if we were to drive it around in a Closed Loop state, that's for sure.

So as for me, I've still got a bit of work to do with the wiring and to finalize this job for myself, and even though I am determined to tricking the computer about the Automatic tranny issues and bypassing all of the trouble codes, Marlin still thinks he should get a Manual computer for his truck. So we looked on Car-parts tonight and he can get these computers for about $50-$100 bucks, and I checked in the wiring book, and the plugs are all the same, so I think this might be the quickest and most reliable approach to take in fighting the Automatic issues.

More to come later, Can't wait to get this thing out on the road and see what she'll do! MCR4 HERE WE COME!

Regards,
