Depends on what you're trying to override. You can't simply just bypass the ECM, since the engine won't function without it, but some features can be overridden or bypassed. For example, speed governors... but I won't tell you how for that one. Idle shutdown can be programmed to be overridden a number of ways or not be overridden at all.

How do you disable governor or International Prostar 2010?

It's programmed into the ECM. You'd have to take it to a shop which has the software for it. If you have a MaxxForce engine, your only option is an International dealership. If it's a Cummins, any Cummins certified HD shop will have the Insite software. If it's someone else's truck, they'll probably have an ECM password you'll need in order to access the ECM.

1996 Kenworth with a 435 HP N14 Cummins engine that has 944K miles on it.I would like to install a new engine this winter in my truck with more HP.460 or possibly more.Can I use the same comuter?

No. The higher HP Cummins require a different ECM. The increased HP engine was programed differently and was usually a *Celect Plus* . Also be aware that the ECM plug has a different wiring cofiguration and will not simply plug inton your OEM wiring harness.
