What do you mean by a relearn how do I do that??

1. First, insert the ignition key and turn the ignition switch to the “On” position (Do not start the engine). Leave the switch on for 11 minutes. The security light may flash or be on steady during this 11 minute period. Make sure the light is no longer on or flashing before proceeding to #2 .
2. Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position (as in step #1) for 11 minutes again.
4. Turn the ignition switch off for another 30 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position for 11 minutes a third time.
6. Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds one final time.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the “On” position one final time and wait 30 seconds.
8. Attempt to start the engine. If the engine starts and runs normally, the relearn is complete. If the engine does not start, check for trouble codes and address them before attempting the relearn procedure again.

It's things like this where the stealerships make the true money, lol! Almost an hour's worth of work doing nothing but turning the key on/off at the right interval. Gotta love GM ... wear the stupid ingition switch out just trying to get things right, lol. In the mean time, thanks for the info!

I've been told you don't want to start with a v6 platform, is this true or people just being afraid of it?

[Frenchy]

I did. It's called working with what you have.

Would you search longer for a v8 next time or was it easy enough it wouldn't stop you from buying a truck with a v6?

[Frenchy]

The swap is incredibly easy. If I did it again, I could pull the truck into the shop in the morning with a V6. Out prowling that night with a V8. Of course I'd like to start with a V8 truck, but it just wasn't a cost effective option for me. RCSB V8's aren't exactly easy to find around here
