Sweet. Sounds like a reasonably easy mod. How do i get hold of a BCM simulator ? Or get VS PCM reprogrammed without security ?
Also, the tcc lockup, the previous vn and hydraulic auto didnt lockup convertor, i now am convinced this is due to wiring issue. What signals/ electrical connections/ devices are required on the VS auto to lock up tcc. The speedo is run from the independant transfer case, not gearbox. All dash is original Bravo, and it appears that no light is connected as engine warning light/ ecm diagnostic mode light.
Also, will i need the aldl connector to be wired into the BCM ?
Thanks all for your help, am trying to get as much info as possible before starting this conversion.

If your not wanting to use the low speed fan thats switched on/off by the BCM I would just turn VATS off in the memcal and not use the BCM at all.
