Lol no offense I just like to poke fun!

But it still needs 12volts to the FSS and NSS to start, and it will only drive in 3rd gear(auto) without the PCM looking at the TPS, rpm, and speed.. And the gauges need a brain...

You're wrong bout the transmission. the auto Will drive in other gears, however it won't select them itself. You would have to shift manually with the shift lever, which forcefully moves the governor manually. And yes them darned computer back gages... AT any rate

And I guess the OD and TC wires just ground themselves too?
Okay mr smarty pants

A computer is not the same thing as wiring. No computer is needed for any of those things except maybe cruise and the trans crap on the auto's.


Anyway, whatever. I have no interest in this topic anyway, since we are undoubtably talking about slushboxes, neither does the op apparantly.
