Well put, I guess I’ll take your word on this and save some money lol my mind goes to building old small blocks with everything that is involved (currently finishing up a 340 mopar engine resto for my 69 cuda) but this is a completely different animal so I’ll refer to your expertise and replace...

Cleaned BHW 2

Cleaned BHW 1

I pressure washed the engine after letting some degreaser sit on it for awhile, it was pretty caked on. So the engine ran fine it’s whole life and was meticulously lubed and serviced by the dealership the major downside I guess would be that it had exactly 300k miles on it and I need to build it...

New to me truck

Well I thought I was going with a Toyota Tacoma but plans change I guess. Couldn’t pass on the price so I ended up with 1991 sorry correction “Jeep” Comanche 4x4 lol

This is some outstanding information, thank you sir. When you say 18” from the pedal do you mean cutting the harness 18” from the pedal or should I just run the length of the pedal wires to the plug? I thought I remember seeing somewhere that the orange plug in the bottom of the ecu tray tied...

Got the engine pulled and trans separated, engine on the stand. I started labeling all the inputs on the engine side harness, removed all the plugs and pulled the ecu. Disconnected all of the plugs in the bottom of the ecu box so I could remove the engine side harness then went to take a look on...

Can someone give me the names of the necessary/critical inputs or sensors for the ecu that should be kept during the swap? I have a pretty good idea I just wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing anything. I would like to keep most of the engine and systems oe on the engine side including a/c, charge...

I know it’s a shame but hopefully someone shows interest in the body once I’ve pulled what I need. I own other VW/Audi vehicles that have not been molested so please don’t judge me too harshly lol. This has been something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time and the previous owner was days from...

So what’s the best recommendation for a service manual Haynes, Chilton or others? Maybe a VW/Audi factory service manual, tell me what has worked best for you guys. Keep in mind I will mostly be referring to it for the tech specs on the 2.0 TDI BHW. I do have AllData at the shop but I love...

Thanks for clarifying. I had my eyes on whitbread for some of the mechanical mods, I think ill try my hand with the harness fingers crossed I don’t screw anything up lol. Are there any inputs from a manual transmission that I need to include in the harness (probably not since the ecu is from an...

I was meaning to ask about this immo delete, is it necessary if I am planning on using the truck side ignition system? I know this probably sounds really green but I’ve yet to do a swap to such a dissimilar vehicle before and I want all of my facts straight. Thanks for info on this

Removal is underway, I can’t imagine why the transmission went out the oil looked and smelled just like engine oil :oops: I guess these transmissions go out between 200-300k miles without a transmission service lol
