thats bullcrap IMO. You can't test a PCM without putting it on an engine and seeing if it runs or not. Bad burns happen all the time. Who is your tuner?

Try the PCM in a vehicle it was designed for and see if it works. I bet it won't.
My truck has a 5.3 silverado engine/trans. When it came back the pcm had hand written on it 6 speed 00 ls1. I thougt that was trouble when I saw it, but my thinking was it would be flashed anyway so it could work, right? I need a PCM don't I? Jim
Something sounds suspect. You know someone with a 5.3/60e? See if you can trade out PCMs for a moment to test it out.
would the pcm out of my 6.0 pontiac work? it has the drive by wire and a 80le I thought about changing it in yesterday. The model is an 01 I think out of a 2500 sub that I bought at the salvage sale I use. Jim
Would the truck run with a stock tune?if so I may just pick up a pcm today when I go to Little Rock to buy trucks. Jim
Nope, the PCM has to be tuned for a 99-02 year model and have the red and blue connectors like yours. It will need to have the VATS disabled or it will not run more than a few seconds at most. Mine would not start, just like yours, with the VATS still enabled.
