I have a 06 dodge that I changed from automatic to standard and I need to know what to do with the automatic transmission wires to make it run. Do I need to change the turbo? Do I need to change any of the wiring harness? I have not done anything to my ecm but I know I have to buy a new one for a standard transmission as of right now I have power loss.
just did this this weekend in a friends truck, his was an 05 though.
either way, look for a plug that was hooked to your auto, itll be a 6 port plug, but with only 5 wires. kind of rectangular shaped. there will be 2 yellow/ blue tracer wires in this plug. take a wire of some sort and stick it in the ports of the connector where these two same colored wires are at. hop in the truck and see if it starts. if it does, you have just bypassed the neutral safety switch. after that, you can either wire these two together, or hook it to some sort of safety switch where yu have to push in the clutch pedal to start the truck.
as far as the computer thing, call BobWagner, or email him and get the recover tune to flash it with a Smarty to a standard ECM. or ive also read that the truck will run, just not as much power...
and no, you doont have to buy a new turbo, unless you want to go through the expense of changing onoe out...
hope this helps, good luck!
