Wish I could answer your question....I know it has a BCM Body Control Module

I would contact one of the wiring harness experts like BP wiring. http://www.bp-automotive.com/LS1_Wiring__Harness.html

If you drive a 98 -up S10 you know how annoying the ABS system is...Half the time it doesnt work & the other times it starts pulsing the rear wheels in a panic stop & makes it harder to stop.

Well I have done away with my ABS with a bolt on proportioning valve from Wilwood. It was a bolt in deal with the proper fittings. And lost approx 12 lbs of dead weight from the front of the truck.

Here is the valve from Wilwood...



You can see the ABS module & valve in this pic....



Here is a pic of it,mounted in my truck. At first it was a little strange driving without the ABS but after a couple weeks with it in I have to say that its much better without it.

Very nice job!
My son has an earlier S10 with a 350. One trick I used on the headers was to weld the bolts to the collector rings. It makes tightening nuts up so much easier.

I myself have two LS powered cars. C5 corvette that has run a high ten NA, and my turbo L33 Nova that is in the mid nines.

We built his S10 before I got into the LS world, but maybe a good swap down the road. It goes low 12's now, but I bet a 6.0LS would move it right to the 10's.

Again, nice work!

Ron

Default Ls1 swap

Hey there my name's hugo. I wanted to ask would the procedure you took be the same for a 6.0L with a 6 speed trans? Thats what I have in mind for my 2003 chevy s10 with the 4.3L ext. cab. Would I be able to use most of the parts you used on a 6.0 swap?
