Default 03 gmc sonoma om617 swap with a sas

Whell this is what I do when a transmission goes out swap the motor in something diffrent I have an 83 Mercedes 300td I did some mods and got some power olny to have the trans die it was a sad day I came across a deal on a 03 gmc sonoma on bags for 400 bucks and sold the good 2.2 and 5 speed for 500...this project has made me money so far . Every thing else is buddies used parts except the 95 Cherokee I bought for the 5 speed. Now my question is what of the factory gmc harness do I need to keep does any one know can I make every thing work removing the computer? I plan to use all the stock sending units! Any way the sas is going to be done using a 44/9 in combo and a Cherokee long arm lift kit cuz it was cheap haha I'll post some pics soon

I did a cold air intake and a 3in exaust 20+psi for 6monts and still runs fine olny external pump tuning and mine would pull hard from a boosted launch. if the car had been about half the weight and had a 5 speed Im sue it woulda got 60mpg. I was getting 40 on the highway runnin 75. I'm sure I olny got 5 hp if that but have plans for more tuning and picked up a second om617 for 250 bucks complete...: ) also my motor ran better with some used trans fluid and or motor oil just pored in the fuel...

You guessed it. It's him.
He has nobody to **** off on 'his' board, because he bans them all, so he comes (back) over here to stir up sh*t.
I agree , your truck and you do what you want.
Sounds like you got this w a y under control.
