[Diy_efi] 4L80E into 6.2 diesel application

[Eric Deslauriers]

What about taking a TCU from a 92-93 6.5TD truck and starting with that?
The 92-93 are mechanical injection, like my 6.2. Electronics are limited,
prolly mostly the dash and tranny.

I don't have any of the manuals, just kicking around some ideas here.
Brainstorming before spending any $$ if you will.


TIA,
Eric
