Overhead computer - 5/8/2008 8:02:42 AM    greenweenie   Posts: 21 Joined: 5/10/2007 Status: offline My truck did not come with an overhead computer. How hard is it to install one? Is it one of those things where dodge installed the wiring at the assembly line but then did not install the computer as an option? _____________________________ 2001 4.7L A/T R/C Dakota, Patriot Blue.

You'll need to make a wiring harness and tap into a couple of wires under the dash. You'll need to get the right year OHC for your truck. I put one in my truck in about an hour.  _____________________________ Quad Squad Member 2001 Dakota SLT Quad Cab 4.7L 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 1978 Chevrolet Monza Spyder http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2430774 (in reply to greenweenie) Post #: 2
