Everything is good and operates fine if I put the PCM out of my 2000 into it.... Fires up, runs and drives, but no lockup, overdrive or obd2. If I put the 1999 PCM back into the truck, cranks but won't start, but has obd2. But to answer your questions, yes lift pump works, brand new vp44. It's like a electronic factory anti theft shut down issue, definitely a PCM issue
