I’m the one who gave that advice. The pin outs at the fuse box connector and how the pcm gets power is different. He tried to use the 07 engine harness
I’m friends with Nate and I wouldn’t even call us competitors cause we help each other out, but I would go with gen one cams, phasers, and ecu and have no messages on your cluster and have everything work as intended with one PCM
No Gen 1, everything bolts up and you can re use the transmission and trans harness. ECU even bolts in place. Motor mounts get re used. All gages work except the ABS and Airbag modules aren't happy with not communicating with the PCM
Good stuff. I usually deal with gen one ECUs where they’re 99% compatible with the cluster and SJB of these 05-10 cars.
I just did a swap in a 2014 expedition but I’m not sure if these will help
Depends on if you want select shift or not, if so then you need 13-14 ECU, but the you need the newer 13-14 cruise buttons/wheel for cruise to work.
If you don't want select shift, then 11-12 will work and the cruise will work with the 05-09 cruise buttons.
Yes. Need to use a gen1 6r80 with a gen one ECU unless you change the valve body in the 15-17 6R, but don’t quote me on that. I’d just get the 11-14 6R
