2000 5.3 swap to 2008 5.3 help I am picking up a 2008 5.3 & trans Saturday to put in my wife's 2000 Yukon. I am getting the computer and wires for the motor with it. Is this a simple plug and play or is there going to be surprises? Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks Rod

dont think its going to be so easy. 2008s use a different type of data communication between the modules. The 2000 uses the class 2 serial data communication system and the newer ones use the gm high and low speed LAN communication system. completely different from each other. I think you are going to have all kinds of body control problems. I think you can still make it work but its going to take some research and programming. probobly not plug and play tho

OK here's one thing I found. Lingerfelter makes a computer that links the 24 tooth to the 58 tooth. Now with that said the guy could not tell me if that was all I needed.

I saw the part today at the PRI Show small box with 4 plugs cam in cam out, crank in crank out. SDPC had it in their booth.You also need an extension for the knock sensors, which they have. I know I'm talking to myself (LOL) but someone may need the infor. one day. Rod
