ill try to look up the info on this conversion, but it may take a while. im not sure if its PCM controlled, but seems like it wouldnt matter since it would be manually controlled after that.

Hey I appreiate that I&#39;m not in a rush I have a lot of body work and suspension upgrades to do.

damn, thats a great deal on that engine and tranny. i payed 1700 for my 6.0(engine, pcm, harness) now im looking for a tranny to go behind it. i think if i found all that for 1100 i might have passed on the 6.0, maybe.

Yeah being into old cars and having a lot of friends I run into to deals a lot. Even freebies in exchange for some sheetmetal repair or welding in a subframe.lol Its nice to have people that owe you favors.lol I do a lot of things for my friends free of charge so I can catch them on the come back.lol Now if I can only find someone that has done this conversion that owes me.lol

If you are getting a tuned PCM, get your tuner to install the program for a cable driven tune. removing the DBW from the PCM requires no changes to the wiring harness that I know of. It&#39;s as simple as replacing the electronic throttle body with a cable driven unit. The truck cable is plenty long for almost any application.

I can verify that no harness changes are required to convert from drive by wire. Your swap is identical to mine. You can pick up a new 2002 cable operated throttle body on ebay for around &#036;75. Used for even less.

TTT on this one...

1: Gen III Vortec TB&#39;s are different from LS1-based TB&#39;s (Camaro&#39;s, etc.), correct?

2: I noticed that the cable driven TB has 2 connectors on it, whereas my ETC throttle body has one large one, and it&#39;s on the passenger&#39;s side... Not doubting the info, I just want to ensure I&#39;m not going to be up a creek..

One is for the TPS the other is for idle air control. The electronic throttle blade acts as an idle control valve so you don&#39;t need one on the fly by wire design.

OK, kinda figured, especially since there are different signals going to this. So what I&#39;m seeing is that I&#39;ll need the harness to be modified for a conventional throttle body, removing the one large connector, and adding TPS and idle control connectors.

But would an LS1 TB bolt up and work?

If you are looking to replace your drive by wire with cable operated, you will need to add TPS and IAC connectors when you remove the drive by wire throttle body connector. Are you selling your drive by wire parts? What year?

My stuff is from a 55k &#39;04 Tahoe.. Talked to the harness guru today, looks like I will be selling the PCM, as well as the TB.. I also have a throttle pedal and the box for it, but not the small wiring harness between the 2 (Which he tells me is available seperately)

So, I&#39;m now looking for a PCM & TB from a &#39;00-&#39;02, and possibly o2 sensors from the same year.
