ECM VIN change with HP Tuners
Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2020 9:55 pm
Thinking about swapping a low mileage 2013 V-6 engine/ECM/engine harness into a same year V-8 car. The V-8 swallowed an exhaust valve and I presently do not want to invest money into a V-8 rebuild since I already have more Caprices than I need.
I have a V-6 car that I picked for a parts car that was totaled from a side impact. It runs and drives great and I hate to see the engine/trans/ECM set in the corner of the shop and go to waste. I know there are other items that would need to be swapped.
I did a little research and it looks like HP Tuners will allow the VIN in the ECM to be changed. Just don’t know how well the V-6 programming will play with the other V-8 modules. I am open to comments, pros and cons and no I don’t have any parts for sell, if anyone is wondering.
