And a friend or two to help with the beer as well.

If your truck is 98 or newer, will have to have the PCM flashed to your vin. 97 or older, drop it in, hook it up, and you are done. There *might* be some re-pinning of some PCM connectors involved, I don't know if the connectors are divided up completely between engine harness, and body.... it would make sense... but, that just makes it more likely it ISN'T done that way.

Edit: Ok, looking at your nick, gonna take a wild stab in the dark, and guess your truck is a 98. Gotta have the PCM flashed to your vin. Any competent shop should be able to do it.

The Dodgestapo will be knocking on your door shortly, to administer 50 lashes with a wet noodle. Just accept your punishment, resistance if futile.
