    i think you need a harness but this is the wrong area to post that in. this is the greeting section, try the swap section.

    Damn Ricky--don't be an ass to the new guy!

    Welcome to the forum. So--a turboed 5.3L...what all do you have on it?

    You'll need a modified wiring harness--the LS2 is a Gen IV motor--which is not the same as the Gen III, which your truck has. I am sure most things will probably be able to get hooked up, but I am sure there are some other things that won't go...

    DAYUM--a 93mm???? Holy Turbo Lag Batman! How long to you have to wait for it to build boost? Is it like waiting for the 'V-TAK' to kick in???

    But hey--do whatya want---the 6.0L will drop right in--you will need to retain the truck motor mounts. I say just drop the bitch in and see what all you can get hooked up in the wiring dept. Once you find out what you are lacking/need, fabricate something at that point.
