I need help on 4.8 ls harness I have a donor 4.8 Vortec ls out of a 2000 Sierra. I’m swapping it to a 89 k1500. My question is when I swap the harness over can I just plug in the sensors I’m going to use and drive it like that or is taking the plugs off that I’m not using a must? Its only temporary for a couple of months until I turbo it and have one made. I’m new to running wiring harnesses In general so please help lol |
The only reason to remove unneeded plugs is to make it neater. Otherwise just ziptie them out of the way. No big deal. |

Also, don't forget - as a minimum, the Vehicle Anti Theft System (VATS) inside the 2000 Sierra powertrain control module must be disabled by somebody savvy with HP Tuners or similar. The engine will not start unless VATS is disabled. Yes, the check engine light will also be on unless your HP Tuners guy disables the warnings for things like EGR and EVAP while he is inside your tune disabling VATS. The following is everything I had done to the software inside my PCM: Startup and at temp Idle Raised 100 rpm PE Delay set to zero - Power Enrichment Cat Overtemp Disabled All EVAP, EGR, Fuel Sender, and Rear O2 codes deleted Speedo and shift points corrected for current tire/gear Max line psi disabled in case of MAF failure VATS turned off Fans Activate - First fan on @ 195, second on at 210, both off at 190 Rick |

There are vendors here on the site that you can send your PCM to and they will make the required changes - its called a "mail order tune". You can also learn a lot about your wiring by visiting the site known as LT1Swap. Rick |
Ok thank you rick |
