The engine runs perfectly find w/ the older PCM, only issue is the check engine light being stuck on. Not sure why the V6 pcm with the exact same tune would not want to start

It's probably a VATS Issue due to a vin mismatch using HP tuners.

Disable the VATS and reflash the tune.

I am having the issue using the V6 PCM, which has the matching VIN. Should I "write entire"? I have been just doing write changes.

I did not flash the V6 pcm w/ a complete V8 tune, I just went into the V6 PCM and changed all the settings to match the V8 settings

It's probably this related thread thing that shows up if you accidentally keep scrolling. You think you scrolled in the thread that you wanted to post, but you are actually in a different thread without going to a new page.
I would have voted against it, but nobody asked.
