    motor wont start unless vats is disabled...vats checks to see if the vin matches between the bcm and pcm..i believe

    VATS = Vehicle Anti Theft System, anyone with HPtuners can disable it, and I'm pretty sure change the VIN in the pcm so it's like your truck came with it. As far as making the 6 speed work I've not the slightest.

    its not a bigdeal, just look around and wait for replies, if you have all the harness for it you should be fine.

    what kind of 6.0 comes stock in a 08 2500, and does any 1 know what the numbers look like on these motors? just wanna see if the swaps worth it.

    Also need to try to figure out how to wire in the TCM and all the extra wiring. The 06 has trans and engine in one computer. The 6L has the trans computer inside the trans and a totally different engine computer system.

    Have fun.

    why not use the 6.0 and sell the tranny it came with and get a 80e? easiest to swap in and less wiring/ computer headache
