    Segment Swap possible??? 1281002 R/T MAF Enhanced from L31 5.7 to LQ4 6.0L for 24x

    Just as the title states, trying to find out if I can get a segment swap done from a L31 350 to a LQ4 or LQ9 6.0L on my 0411 PCM which started with 12212156 O/S converted to HP Tuners 1281002 R/T MAF Enhanced O/S. I have the PCM in my 1997 Express van with the L31 and looking to do the EFI Connection 24X reluctor ring and 6.0L LS coils. The factory L31 ignition system is JUNK and ready to have something that does not have a case of cold/wet weather misfires.

    For most segment swaps you need to have the original OS, do the segment swap and then re-upgrade the OS.

    Thats what I was hoping to avoid though because that would cost me $100 in credits for the same VIN PCM and same operating system. 12212156 was also used with a 6.0L.

    OS upgrades don't cost credits anymore, atleast it didn't when I upgraded from my 2156... Unless you have to license a stock tune.

    Had someone help me with the Segment swap. All the parts are here. Just need to get them all installed and get the 03 Express 2500 6.0L coil wiring harness section joined into my current harness.
