also if anyone wants to unplug the door harness, I made a little video of that.
thank you, it was a Southern car we bought used but it was only a couple years old. We have tried to keep it nice. If the engine hadn't blown up I would have just kept driving it as is. It still has less than 100K miles (on the body). My wife drove it to work and the kids borrowed it once in a while. Now it becomes a bit of a toy!Nice work. It looks like you've prepared the blank canvas ready to paint your own masterpiece. The '07 has an impressively clean and rust-free bodyshell.
Thanks,I think this is the first 4.0 to 3.7 swap I’ve seen that went this in depth! Kudos to you for documenting everything so well! I hope you enjoy it and it’s worth all the effort once it’s all back together! I’m putting parts together for a 5.0 swap in an 08 s197 at the moment so I understand the want for a newer powertrain in an older chassis!
what is the crank relearn process and how do I do it?Be sure that you do the crank relearn process when you get the car together.
You can use a tuner like the SCT to do the process, or if you aren't going to put a tune on the car the dealer can do it relatively cheaply.what is the crank relearn process and how do I do it?
good to know! thanks! I was thinking about doing a tune. I'm a bit old school, my 67 still has a carb! This electronic stuff is new to me...You can use a tuner like the SCT to do the process, or if you aren't going to put a tune on the car the dealer can do it relatively cheaply.
When you separate the engine and transmission you have to teach the computer again where the crank is, otherwise you will trigger codes and have misfires. Left too long you can damage the engine - I lost a piston when it wasn't done on an engine replacement on my 2013.
