Default 5.3 going in Jeep

Man, Im glad I found this site. I just purchased a 5.3 out of a truck and it has the drive by wire Tbody. I will have to buy a harness and computer because I just got the complete engine and accesories. My question is do I just find a pedal assembly out of a wrecked truck or do I need one from a vette? Also, does anyone have a scematic of sensor layout on the 2000 5.3 truck engines? Thanks for your time...

Jess

You can use the ETC pedal from either a Vette or a truck. There is one minor wiring change between the two.

My uncle owns Diesel Depot and my dad said he has some pedal assemblies out of the diesel trucks. He said it is a 5 wire harness, would this be the same controller as the vette and gas trucks?

im doing a dj5 conversion to a 4.3 liter 6, but im told they are VERY buildable because its just the 350 block with 2 cyl hacked off the end so most of the parts are interchangable, if its not a big problem ill go with a cast iron truck lt/s1 that my friend got cheap, ill have to see
