    The '7427 was used in V6's, both TBI and CPI. A 16196395 and a 16168625 should both be able to run the $0D mask also.

    Thank you. I was sure that it was used in CPI, I just didn't recall any TBI V6 applications of it. That's probably because a V6 full size truck around here is pretty rare. ;)

    Awesome thank you all so much! I spent a good week searching google and posted on a couple other forums for theisinformation with no luck. I just happened to see a link to this forum on a post and figured Id give it on last try. Glad I did. I'll pull out my laptop and download the stuff to night and look at it and I'll probably end up going to a junk yard or two tuesday and see what I can find. I'm sure I'll have more questions when I get into it. But I'm finally off to a good start on getting it all done.

    Downloaded tunerpro and neen playing around a little. Few questions to make sure I'm understanding stuff correctly. Bin file is what goes on the chip for the PCM to read and xdf file is what the tunerpro uses to read and edit the bin file. $OD is a type of xdf file. Is there a way to tell if the 2 dont match up correctly like are from 2 diffrent vehicles? As I'm sure that could end up bad.

    Tunerpro looks pretty straight forward and I think I'm gonna be able to work my way through pretty easy it once I understand the files properly and how to pick the correct ones.

    Well I got the transmission in and finished routing all the wiring from the motor swap. Started right up and everything was working so went for a quick drive around the block. Doesn't seem to be in limp mode or anything. Motor revs up when driving and isnt limited, motor is putting out what seems to be full power and transmission shifts fine. check engine light is on but expected that. Haven't had a chance to hook up a scan tool to see what codes are thrown but assuming the 4l80e being gone will have thrown at least a few. Is the limp mode tied direct to the 4l80e transmission and since it's not there the limp mode involving the transmission doesn't function other then causing the check engine light to be on?
