Default GM Communication port

Can any GM port work to program an LS motor?
The part is normally under the dash on the driver side.

What car / truck are your refering to ?

If your referring to the ODBII port, yest that is the port you can used a Scanner or one of the hand held programer. You can also use your laptop if you have the software (HPTuner, EFILive, etc) and cables.

The OBD2 port? Pretty much any GM port will work. Mine came from an Alero or something from the 90s.

It has to be from a vehicle with OBDII. Which started in 96. There is a pinout on www.lt1swap.com.
