Default What PCMs to look for (buy)

What PCMs can I use with a 2001 LS1, M6? I suspect I have a bad one and need to find a replacement. I know I don't want a pre 99, but can I use a 5.3L truck or one with an A4? Should I stick with a 2001 or could I use a 2000 through 2003?

Anyone have an idea of where to buy one for a reasonable price.

Thanks,
Scott

I would probably stick with one like I had before. I think the pin/connectors on the 98 PCM is different so that's probably not a good canidate.

This link is pretty decent for checking out prices and stuff.

98 is different (voice of experience).

THanks for the input guys. I know I need a 12200411 service part, which is a 2001 or newer part. I can actually use one from any fbody, Corvette or pickup, but I would have to get a dealer to flash it for the fbody LS1/T56 if it does not come from a vehicle with this combination.

We can program your PCM to any VIN for $60 shipped, or sell you a PCM programmed to any VIN for $200.

If you already have a harness you need the same year PCM. The years, esp 98& 99, change some pin outs.

I used a 99 on a conversion to a 62 Vette.

Good luck

Problem solved. The person I purchased the engine and trans from neglected to mention that the PCM was new and had never been flashed.

Thanks,
