Thanks ghase, i was mostly worried about the ecu. And i'll wait to swap the axles later on also if the auto ones work.

the auto ecu won't effect anything, you'lll just have the CEL on all the time.
If you wanted to change the ecu, you would have to bring it to the dealership and have the keys reprogrammed.

Could be wrong about that, but surprised that none of the "maxi-experienced" guys on the org have piped in on that one, just several guys repeating what I think is bad info.
