VS ute
Sometimes the driveline starts shuttering and being high kay I want to swap the computer out in my auto ute, is it a straight swap or is there routine involved, thanks in advance.

Straight swap with something from the same model, but I really doubt that will be your issue.

Extremely unlikely that the computer is your problem.

^^ agree...could be numerous things if high mileage with a hard life.

You'll just have to find/fix things as you go untill issue is gone.

Almost 100% positive it's not going to be your computer.

ECU's don't just wear out, they either work or they don't. If the ECU had failed you'd get nuffin.
