You would need to copy the .pst file from your old computer to your new one. Then setup the new outlook to use the file.

File > Data File Management > Add > Select the version > Ok > navigate to the location of the file and select Ok. Outlook will start using that file and bring all of your email, contact, calendar etc to Outlook.

did a hard reset on the phone, cleared all the info and started fresh with a sync to the new laptop.
seems to have done the trick.
thanks for the pointers.

we'll see if i can make a laptop mount for the truck now.
