Just wondering what the main difference is betweenn the two computers, why cant the 96-99 be reflashed. Also, what if i geta 2000 computer for my 99, will it just plug in, or what would have to be done?

The programming and layout of the two computers are incredibly different. The hardware changed in 99/2000. Plus the PCM loves to communicate with the BCM in the 2k+, 96-99 don't have that.

To swap a 99 pcm to a 2000 you'd have to change:

PCM
ADD the BCM
All wiring in the car
Cluster
Fuel Sending Unit

I wouldn't be suprised if I forgot something. It's EXTENSIVE.

You wouldn't have to replace the wiring, but you would have to rewire the harness.
