Thread: Any advantage to using new ecm?

    Any advantage to using new ecm?

    I am getting a 2001 silverado harness to run my 04 van lq4. Now i was gonna get a 01 ecm just to eleviate any headaches. But I have an 05 silverado 463 ecm. Is there any advantage to using the 05 one? From what i've read i'd have to modify a little to run the O2 sensors but other than that should be direct swap for my 01 harness.

    cant use that pcm with a 02 and earlier harness without some work to harness and etc....also no advantage
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    I knew about the harness work just makin sure the newer ecm wasn't better. If it was better i'd work the harness, but if it's no better i'll just get me a 411 ecm and good to go then.

    The 03+ PCM does have more computing power, but you would never notice the difference.
