Hello guys, pretty new here. I have a 4.8 I picked up, now I need a harness and computer. I found a 0411 ECU, and I'm needing to pick up a DBC harness, the problem is I cannot find one anywhere, and if I do there $300. There has to be a easier place to find harness's cheaper and especially one that isn't a DBW system. Anyone have any ideas at all for?

Thanks a ton,
Luke

 

I've always thought that engine wiring harnesses sold for stupidly high prices...even used.

you can remove the dbw part of a harnness and make it a dbc real easy when modifying the harnness . http://www.lt1swap.com/cable_conversion.htm

and or if me convert to dbw you get cruise control then via 5 more wires added.

 

Thats what I'm saying. You can buy a precut for $500. Why would a used one be $300? I have no issues cutting down a harness to make one, but it's hard to justify when they go for 200 dollars less and some I've seen have messed up wires and connectors.

 

junk yard prices are up these days

 

What year is the 4.8?

 

It's going in a race vehicle. I don't want/need cruise already set up for a cable throttle. I did read that it was easy to convert but even the DBW harness's are a little ridiculous.

 

its a 03

 

I have a harness off of a 1999 silverado 5.3. Don't know if thats what you are looking for.

well after posting this last night. I managed to score a harness for a fair price. Thanks Rabid StreetRacer. And remembered that I saw one of these wrecked in the junk yard down the road and managed to pick up a drive by cable computer out of a 1500 truck for $10.

 

You going to re wire it yourself?

 

Yes I am.

 

It isn't real hard to rewire, if you need schematics let me know.

 

A video I found before I got a good deal on a carb setup.
