    Question 2006 4.3 to 2008 4.8 swap........

    what other things would be needed besides the following?
    i have of course the 2008 4.8
    it already has the e-fans

    could we retain the factory ecm?or the fact that its a 08' would it need the ecm and tcm from 08?
    or is it too complicated to do a genIv into nbs?

    that sounds like quite an endeavor to swap up to a genIV engine from a V6. I am sure it can be done if you're determined enough to try it. I wonder if Jonathan can marry a GenIV harness to the factory V6 harness? Good question, plus can you find a good GenIV harness in a boneyard or online? Its pretty much the same swap as the GenIII stuff just different PCM/TCM setup. It sounds financially restricting. I'd sell the V6 truck and buy a V8 if it were me.

    I'd go back the the pre 07 electronics, 24x reluctor. It would make life so much easier.
