I think you just need to have the engine computer to be flashed to that of a manual computer. I don't think you physically need to swap the computer it's self.

Also subbing, I was considering this my self to do to my truck

I'm fairly certain they will accept the same software. The problem lies in when flashing the software to the PCM with IDS, the software will ask for the VIN, then download the ASBUILT for that VIN from the master database. I haven't tried to blank path an automatic PCM to manual, but I suspect it will give you a software incompatibility error, unless you manually download the asbuilt and modify it accordingly.

Hope this helps.

He had a cut CAN wire which caused a minor problem. It's his current daily driver right now. He doesn't get on the forums very much.
