the computer under the dash runs everything in the truck including the tranny.from what i was told an automatic truck will lope at idle with a 5 speed in it unless you get a pcm for a 5 speed truck.

if youre planning to use the auto tranny you NEED the pcm for a truck with an auto trans in it or it wont shift.

there is only 1 computer that runs everything in the truck as i stated.it is the one behind the ebrake.the one on the drivers fender is the IDM for he 94-97s.on the 99-ups the one up under the center of the dash is the IDM for the injectors,does nothing else.

the one behind the ebrake is the motor/tranny computer
