    not positive, but i don't think you can. i know the computer pinouts/plugs were different (blue/red on older; blue/green on new), and ain't the instrument cluster interfaced a different way? i only put an 01 engine in a 99, so i just used an 01 harness, so i ain't the expert here
    00 FRC - just top end, exhaust, and a hot-air intake
    99 Sierra - 5.3 / 5spd

    you need to get a 2004-up harness. the pinouts are different. if ur truck were to come with a V8, it would have been dbw.

    so is it possible to move the pins to make the 99-02 dbc harness to fit a 03 4.3 dbc fuse block?
