Default E38 ECM flex fuel question...

E38 flex fuel question...
...so apparently on the 07 flex fuel (new body style) Silverado,it adjusts the E85 tune via the o2 readings,not a flex fuel sensor...
So does my non-flex fuel silverado e38 ecm have that capability in place?
if not,am i able to unlock the software via hptuners?
or should i be looking into adding a sensor similar to the Dedicated system?
I am aware that e85 requires the pump/injectors/tune upgrades.
Thanks
Dom

You should be able to turn on the flex fuel in your non-flex fuel E38. If not, you might have to flash in a different OS. There should also be options in there for using the "calculated" flex fuel (no sensor) or switching to an actual flex fuel sensor.
