ECU swap.

I asked this in the 5th gen forum and got one response....

So I will ask here because you guys deal with this quite often swapping engines.

I have my EGR plugged off on my 00 Cali. So I get a SES for my EGR, I want to get rid of it because the only place around here that will fix it wants $400 and I would rather get rid of it, drop weight and keep my intake manifold cleaner....

I wanted to know if I could Swap in a 01 ECU (or can you reprogram my current ECU), that does not have EGR, would this cause other problems?

If swapping ECU's will not work, how can I get rid of the EGR without getting an SES?

I don't see why not... You could swap in a 2001 ECU and get rid of the EGR problem, I don't have the 2001 FSM but im sure it's doable.

Im actually contemplating swaping a '01 ECU into my '96 for the above reasons as well. When I find the '01 FSM I will look into it further and see how much work is needed. Also as another bonus TS can reprogram the rev limiter on the 01 ECUs, among other things.
