Fwiw in Reno diesel is +/- $6.00 @gallon. Gas, which I don't use I think is $5, maybe $4.75. Carson About 50¢ cheaper.

Same routine I'm going through with son and engine swap on a 88 4runner: computers won't match. There are however places online that can reprogram but the smog places are restricted to tail pipe emissions and seeing if the obd system reports READY/OK. serial number only makes the mechanic not have to find, copy and report the one on the dash.

All the computers I have come across prior to 2015 don't have embedded non changeable serial numbers, would fubar a non dealer repair shop doing a swap.

So I would go see if thats an actual requirement. I would also research spoofing various sensors: fuel pressure, O2 pre cat, TPS, rpm what have you
