at this point your only reasonable choice is a programmable ecu.

you could maybe get a cheap one and a usable tune for that price? idk.

I need the truck to pass emissions, unfortunately :( Are there programmable ECUs that can pass emissions via OBDII tests? I was under the impression that there aren't, although I'd love to find out I was misinformed.

they can pass emissions if properly configured. they can perform exactly like the original ECU if tuned well, if a tiny bit better.

they don't do OBD2 tests in my country though, only the pipe emissions test, so im not sure about that. saving a working original just for these tests is an option.
