DBW vs DBC pcm programing

[jtaliaferro]

Hello,

What are the differences in a Drive By Wire PCM and A Drive By Cable {software wise}? (

I have been told the DBW is only missing drivers for the IAC? If so could the pcm be converted to DBC?

I have also been told my 4.3l PCM can be flashed to work with my 6.0L?
note:
The 6.0l has already been converted to DBC.

What is the service number from the 4.3L pcm? If it matches up, then just get the pcm flashed for a 6.0L setup and the correct trans cal.

Software wise, it depends on the vin, but to ensure you have compatible hardware and software, I'd use the correct service number.

You will have to forgive my ignorance..... What/Where is the service number you are you referring to? And what am I matching it up to?

Thanks for the help

i was told you are not able to just flash a v6 ecm with a v8 tune from the guys at hp tuners. it might have just been my case but, i would ask there support before spending money on credits. oh are you doing this yourself or someone else doing it?

Would I be able to convert the 6.0l pcm to Drive by Cable? I believe it was pulled from a 2004 Escalade.

I'm not familiar with those service numbers, you might want to pick up a 411.

I have purchased a 0411 pcm, so what do I do from here? Should I just tune with the current config? Should I flash the pcm with a file from a 6.0l? If I should flash what about me having a 4l60e tranny?
