Yes,just need to make sure the gears are the same.
Check the rpo codes in the glovebox.

I think the shift points may be off going to 3.73, someone correct me if im wrong. It can be fixed by having the pcm tuned.

Good point, i know when i got my pcm tuned, he asked if i had stock gears or if i changed them, so i was thinking the pcm might need to know for some reason

You did not state that earlier that makes things much easier. Still dont believe you need computer reprogrammed
