What about a stand alone pcm for the 10 speed auto?

Adding cost and complexity for no real reason IMO. I would look into making an adapter for the 17 harness to the 18 PCM or using an 18 underhood harness before I would look into doing a standalone controller.

Too bad if this, the digital dash and magnaride could be added to 15-17 I might not upgrade.

Run 18 pcm on older engine.

I still highly doubt this swap wont work.

I still believe someone will figure it out.
In addition to the wiring harness problems mentioned, I'm wondering if it will work with the '15-'17 gauge cluster?

Its all CAN bus people have already put the 2018 new digital LCD screen cluster in an older car.

Its physically the same size and its all CAN BUS controlled it really comes down to someome with enough brains to program it which i sadly do not have LOL.

Still 100% confident this will happen

Hate to revive an old thread but has any additional info come out regarding this? I already swapped to the 18 cluster, the 10 speed is the last thing I really liked about the 18s.

All I've seen is that tuners like beefcake racing and MAK Performance are still trying to figure out how to tune it for optimal performance. I’d say a swap is unlikely at this time. Its alot different then the 6r80 from a tuning standpoint . We dont even know if it can take the punishment that the 6r80 is known for!

Well even in factory form it’s quicker than the manual trans, presumably quicker than the 6R though it’s hard to compare when the motors are different power ratings. Are the 6R swaps pretty common? Last time I did a swap of my own it was taking out the crap AODE and putting in a built T5.

Bump to the top Tuesday...anyone have any further insights into this? So far, it looks like this could be done if custom wiring harnessess and custom connectors were made...and then program the respective computers.

I was actually just doing a search on this earlier to see if there was any new info out there. Didn’t come up with anything new unfortunately. I’m actually pretty surprised there isn’t more info available by this point. The 10R80 seems to be pretty damn good, we can’t be the only ones interested. Just going to keep checking...
