How to raise my ECM

Post by Bronco19 »

Just wondering what I should do about my computer? Should I bag it or try to relocate it? Has anyone did this?

I would relocate it. by sealing it all together the temp difference could cause condensation. it is only held in by like 3 screws. just take the retainer off and move it up into the dash. right now it should be in the passenger side kick panel.

Where does the fuel tank vent at? Is there anything I'm missing. I've vented my axle and T-case. My 5-speed vents at the top, so I think it's high enough for now.

what's the charcoal canister? Is that part of the fuel pump? Also, which passenger speaker are you talking about? The six inch in the door or the rear 5x7".

the chorcole chanister is up front by the radeator on the driver side. Its for smog. And it was the speaker on the dash. but putting it there would be hard becuase i took out all the vents in my truck

I ended up putting it behind my glove box or where it used to be. I had to separate the front and back of the GB to fit it behind there. Didn't have to cut wires or buy anything though so it worked out good. :D
