Default Engine light

The only heavier LS trans is the 4L65E

Harness wise the easiest route is to use an LS series 99-02 truck harness and then weed out the 1998 engine management stuff from your existing underhood harness and then marry the two using this existing underhood fuseblock fuses etc.

Your current fuel pump will do the job.

As far as engine mounts their are a couple of other LS powered 88-99 OBS chevy trucks here. There are different ways of doing it and the best bet is to locate the people who have done it and then pm them with questions or pictures or related posts.
How would I avoid a check engine light when doing a 5.3 swap into a 98 Silverado. Is it as simple as flashing the computer to the new modifications and deleting a few things?

Don't expect a reply from a thread that ended 6 years ago and started 10 years before that.
