    What PCM Can i use with my DBC Setup

    So I am having a ton of issues with my OS on my P01 PCM. My os was 9381344 that i upgraded it to 1283005. Can i use a P01 ECM 12209203 or a 12201281. My setup is a 5.3l Block with a 4" stroke crank. 363 CID. Basically a 6.0l. I am wanting to go to a better PCM OS and keep DBC.

    You asking about a PCM or OS? You can pretty much put any red/blue OS in any red/blue box.

    The OS is what i am asking about which one to use. They are all Red/Blue PCM's. I am using DBC not DBW. I know some of them are only DBC and others are only DBW and some can do both i believe. I may be wrong.

    Whatever OS a 2002 Silverado uses lol, I'd have to look on my other computer.

    Something 2156 or whatever comes to mind.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    DBW for P01s are rare unless it is a Vette OS. There were some 02 Truck and SUV DBWs but only if they had factory traction control. For swaps I tend to use an 02 12212156 used in many truck and SUVs and don't have any issues with that.

    Would any PCM work as long it it the red blue connectors? Dows it matter if it is DBC or DBW?

    As long as the last 4 of the service number are 4896 or 0411 it will work. And don't pay that much for one. They are all over salvage yards around here for $20. If it doesn't already have the OS in it you want to use you will have to license the file that is in it and the one you want to write to it.And you will have to do a write entire.
