Isn't there also an issue with the VIN in the PCM being different
than what's in the dash or the body computer? Seems like I recall
that since 98 or 99 or so, if you wanted to swap computers you had to
have your vin flashed into it. Not sure if it would be possible to
flash a GC computer with a Dak VIN though?
