WTF is going on here i'm lost lol I went scavaging the salvage yard today for a engine harness for my lq4 swap. i seen this truck with a vortec, not sure of the engine size and year but it had drive by cable throttle. I wanna know if I can use this with my 04 van lq3 and 04 van ecm. I was under the impression all silverados' were drive by wire? Here is the style truck I seen in the yard.

yeah thats what i thought but taht body style truck is a 03-07 so then how can it be dbc? I looked under the hood, it is dbc. I'll call tomorrow and get the year of the truck but it is the new body style of 03-07. And i got a ecm from a 05 silverado which is the same body style and this was from a dbw truck. So hmmm, wierd.

I thought they started that body style in 03 but from what i just found out is the 01 has like a half year body style change. If you look up parts on gmpartsdirect.com for an 01 it has silverado 1500 and silverado 1500 new style. It shows this on has the 411 ecm Baffled me to brotha, I was like wtf.
2003- to Early 2007? I have a 2007 and it looks exactly like the one in the picture and I went outside and looked at it and it a 4.8 litre and it is definitely DBW, I know around Feb. or Mar. 2007 they switched to the new style, my 2007 is what they call a 2007 classic style and then you have the 2007 new style around, I know every time I get parts for it they always ask me is it the classic or new style, so 2007 can have both body styles.

I'm gonna go back lol and verify the vin number myself to check for year and engine. But if you go to gmpartsdirect.com and look for parts for a 2001 silverado it lists silverado and silverado new style.
!999 and 2007 are the two years that they made two body styles, with the older always being called "Classic". The picture you posted is a 2003 or newer, that's when they changed the front clip to that style, went to all DBW, and changed the instrument cluster and a few other things.

Ok I checked vin numbers and it is indeed a 2001 with a cable driven lq4. So not sure if the previous owner changed out the front end he did a damn good job at it. did the 2001's even come with a lq4? Oh it was a 2500HD
