    Can I use my 99 5.3 Silverado ECM with a 05 Flex fuel 5.3 engine?

    Picked up a 2005 5.3 out of a Yukon XL with flex fuel capability, but it was missing all of the other components. Can I use the ECM out of my 1999 5.3 Silverado with the engine as long as I have the 99 cable throttle body and 4L60E transmission?

    Thanks

    throttle body will not fit on a 03 up intake that has the electronic throttle body...to simplify things you'll need a intake from a throttle body setup, other than that the engines are the same

    The '99 ecm won't run the 05 stock setup, but!

    you can swap intakes, make the '05 a dbc and run the '99 pcm and wiring.
    So yes, you can if you change the '05 to dbc.
