Vcm swap into same model car.

I have a 01 monte carlo with a e85 l67 swap that had a 3800. Been driving on the swap for the last 2 years no problems. I need to retire that car because of living in the rust belt. I am pulling the drive train out of that car and am putting into a clean 01 monte carlo with a 3800 as was the same that was in my original car that has the l67 in. My question is can i take my l67 vcm and plug in and not have a problem with the bcm if so what will it do or not do and how to fix that. Or can i flash my file into the vcm in the clean monte and just pony up the 2 credits to do so. I am a little confused about the os from my rusty monte being diffrent than whats in the clean monte because it being a n/a 3800.

Probably just put your original bcm and pcm into the new car no credits needed that way or find a buddy with a tech 2 to match the bcm to your pcm and if.none of that works yea another 2 credits and copy your tune to that pcm

Ok so my next question is would i have to do a write entire to the na 3800? Or just load in my l67 tune file? I dont know if the original tuner had use a different o.s or anything else because the original vcm was also a na 3800 pcm.

I believe hptunners will tell you if you should do a table write or a full write just do what it suggests

If its a different os, then you have to write entire

if its the same ecu though, i would just put your old pcm in the new car, and either do a vats relearn, or disable vats in the calibration

I am very willing to put my old ecu into the new car. I believe i have the vats already disabled. Is the vats the only road block between being able to use my old ecu into the my new car? I have read up on the horror story's about either cars not starting or functions not working and what not.

Will the vin need to be changed in the with the old pcm to talk to the new bcm?

Im not 100% certain, but my best judgement says the only thing the bcm and ecm need to agree is for vats. especially on an 01

Put the old vcm tuned for boost into na car with na bcm. Performed security relearn. Fired right up been driving it for 6 months

excellent.

Love older cars. newer ones can be a headache and costly to do swaps.
