    No need to go to the dealership to get your TPMS programed to your car, Walmart does it for free👍

      There’s a relearn tool that you can buy and it worked for me before I did the swap. The problem now is that I cannot put the car into the relearn mode

      I’m just about the dullest tool in the shed. But when you don’t give up on something eventually you will run out of things to go wrong. That was me, 1 million problems and the motivation to fix them.

      Its not guaranteed success but it is so rewarding once done. If you like working on cars and need an excuse for a fun engine swap project then definitely do it.

    How much do you think this process would cost if I had a donor car to swap everything over?

    • @connormckenzie5648
      @connormckenzie5648  11 місяців тому +2

      I just came across a donor car that was posted for sale today that has everything for $5,000. So the project would cost around $6,000 but if you sell all the V6 parts you could probably be pretty close to even.
