I literally sat here for like an hour and typed up this whole spiel about this and that surrounding my choice to put an 8HP in my truck but then realized that was only diverging from the point.
So, lets get to that
I bought an 8HP before I even bought the truck so i knew from the get go that that was the plan.
Main issue I am having is the fact that I live in Colorado and I have to do an emissions check once every two years.
Given that my truck is a 97, it has ECU/TCU combo
If I remove my trans for the new trans my engine may not run right but more than that is the fact that I will likely get a check engine light.
That means I fail my E check.
I have read all the things on the nets about ways to fix this but most are either inconclusive or are for places where there is no E check.
Has anyone sorted a way to get rid of the stock trans, pass emissions, still have factory drivability and have no check engine light?
