Looks good. How does that 4.8 handle all that weight? Going bigger later?

hey did you eliminate the stock pcm? im almost done with mine and dealing with some mounting issues. i have to place the ls pcm where you have yours because of the dbw module.

The power is good I paid for a 5.3 but didn't check the vin till it was in the truck so nice it argue with junk yard. and I'll prob up grade to a 5.3 when the 4.3 in my s10 goes out.

Yeah I deleted the stock pcm up like it there because it helps the factory look.

i would love to eliminate my factory pcm but how? how do the gauges work? abs etc??

[wayoung]

All my gauges work I have a resister for the tach like on lt1swap.com. the oil uses the 03 sending unit. And if i remeber correctly the 03 pcm had two vss outputs I put one to the abs and one to the guage Ill have to look at my notes on that and on the alt wire. On the fuel you'll be fine because it doesn't go thru the pcm on yours. Then for the AC i just rewired it to run on a low side pressure switch similar to haw the non computer controled trucks are but I haven't got my lines made yet. Oh and all of the 03 fuses are in the 97 fuse box.

Since someone asked for it here is the gas pedal.

Yeah on the abs i repined on 03 Green 49 Yel/Blk wire with Blue 15 also Yel/Blk from the 97. I drilled and tapped the water pump for the 87 one wire temp. sensor. for the voltometer I used the wire from the 97 alt and tapped into Green 15 brown wire.

Here is some more pictures.
