Yep. Should be able to find a matching computer for $50-100 and hopefully hock the one I have for the same. Then it's just a matter of Crash talking me out of it. :redneck:Eric said:

Ok, here's the short version. Service numbers don't really tell you **** on those puters. Some websites will give you one piece of info, and others will say something completely different. Either way, if you take a computer into the dealer, they CAN NOT tell you what it came out of from the service number.
As for wiring: 2001 they changed to the Delphi puter. For the first part of the year, they kept the plugs on the motor the same as they were from 1996 until then. Mid year they changed the plugs on the motor. They went to mostly round style plugs versus mostly flat style plugs. If you have the flat style plugs on your motor, you can use an earlier harness. If not, you can change out the sensors to the older style. They are cheap at Pull A Part.
If you choose to stay with your delphi computer, or you choose to use a 98 and newer puter, you can send it to Jims Performance in Maryland, and he will do anything you want for about $200. http://www.jimsperformance.com/ As far as the $30 little quick fixes, I have not heard of anyone having good luck with those yet on these motors. It might work, but I have not personally tried it.
If it were me, I would go to Pull A Part and spend $10 on a harness, and $25 on a puter for a 1996 or 1997 and call it a day. No pass key, no bullshit.

Gotcha, that makes sense with what I've been seeing. Have to tell you, it sure sent me for a loop with all the conflicting info I was finding.Trevor said:
Ok, this is part I don't understand totally yet. I'll get a pic up in a few of the connectors I have, but I don't get when/what the change was made. I have two big long connectors, mabye 5" long, with a screw in the center to retain them. So this is the old style? I'd really prefer keeping everything on this motor the same year so I don't have to remember what I need when parts break. I already have that issue with the mix-n-match of Toy parts on the truck. :redneck:Trevor said:
Ya, I've heard his name before. Problem is the computer I have won't plug in, so I need to find one that will...Trevor said:
my fear as with any piggyback system like that, is that it will work fine at first and over time eventually poop the bed.Trevor said:
This is the motor as of tonight after I finished peeling the wiring harness off.
Can anyone confirm that this is the oil pressure sender? My wiring diagram didn't have it listed. Back of the block, goes into a 90* fitting and down into what appears to be an oil channel next to the cam.

You have the delphi puter, and a delphi harness, just not the right puter for the harness. Your stuff is mid 2001 and newer. All of it. The easiest thing to do would be to get the correct computer, and have it flashed. As for the oil pressure sensor, YES that is it.
