Looking at buying a friends used XZT for 200 (he flipped his truck) he has an 01 so it has the wrong harness but he claims to have the correct one and said that the harness is easy to change.  Anyone done this before?  It's about a hundred mile drive one way and I planned to go look at it at 12 noon today.

I would get ahold of @Quadzilla Power and ask him directly if there is a replacement cable for the XZT series. That would solve the mystery.

I found the replacement harness online just need to reach out to @quadzillapower to find out if I can swap it over or if I have to send it in

Wisco, what year is your truck? That is what determines what all will need to make it work. Or feel free to call us and we will go over it...

Thanks!

There is an internal difference as well not just the wiring harness. Give me a call when you get a chance and i will explain it.

Thanks

When does the internal difference take place? I have an xzt that I bought used but I believe it's an older unit. I had to get an adapter for it because the po was using it on his 01 and I have the 02.

1998.5-00 are the same internally, and 01-02 are the same internally.

Passed on the used XZT we opened up the unit to find that the unit had decent damage likely due to the fire and extinguishment after the accident, corrosion and smoke tracing inside the unit.  It looks like I'll be calling you shortly for a new unit.  Just not sure XZT or adrenaline

We look forward to hearing from you!

@WiscoRedkneck adrenaline, v2

Unfortunately it comes down to needs versus wants right now...  I would really like an adrenaline but the transmission(suncoast stage 1 with about a 100k of heavy pulling miles)won't take what that programmer can put down with a 35/40 hybrid turbo and 100 sticks I know that for a fact the smarty was beating her up. 

I know it's getting another transmission maybe even before the road trip but there's the problem the late July road trip with a 32 foot 11k loaded bunkhouse, no programmer, no good, IMHO its just unsafe when the truck and trailer cant get out of their own way.  

But I'm saving up enough for an emergency transmission change en-route if needs and already have planned shops along the route so if the trans fails on the trip I'll be good, thus meaning buying a programmer and a tablet is harder to swallow then just buying a programmer....

You can detune it with v2 and prolong tranny for a while, be money ahead in long run

Got it, now I just need to hope the guy I bought it from actually bought it for an 01 lol. I assume it has to be working though since I can feel the power increase and I'm not getting any codes or CELs
