02 RL complete swap into an 00

This might be a long shot on in this forum but anyways. I getting ready to put a complete swap from and 02 into my 00 does anyone know if i can use my 00 ECU or ill have to use the one from the 02? also is there any difference in the wiring or should be just direct plug and play...thanks

Why are you doing a complete swap? The hardware is almost identical..

The ECU MIGHT be different but the main difference is a different silencer in the exhaust that gives you better torque and HP.

Otherwise the suspension is the biggest and most noticeable difference between the two years.

complete swap as in engine or something else.

If your just dropping in an engine there shouldnt be that much of a problem. If any pars differ just swap em for your old onto the new.


If your trying to do the swap for a couple of extra horses you might have to swp wiring harnesses which would be a pain.



On a side note do you have a 02 your parting out or something?

Well my friend just totaled his RL and has 70k and im getting a deal on the drivetrain. Also i didnt know there was a difference in the suspension. I kinda figured the ECU would be different but i hope its not because i dont wanna have to get the key reprogrammed and all that
