Hello everyone, so I recently bought a 5.3 vortec that also came with a texas speed standalone harness. Was wondering if it even works for this engine. Says its for 99-06. From what I can tell the casting number near the waterpump is F199, does that mean its 99 or 09?

EDIT: it will say GEN IV near the engine size if it's a 2009.
Cam position sensor is behind the intake up to 2006 and 2007 and also have knock sensors under the intake.
A 2009 would have the cam sensor in the timing cover. And oil towers under the valley cover and knock sensors on the sides.

Reluctor wheels can be swapped to use a different computer system so thats not a sure ID.

Casting numbers aren't what they used to be in the 70's and 80's but you can look around here https://help.summitracing.com/knowle...SR-04755/en-us

On the front and back of the block, it's going to have a cast in 4.8/5.3 designation. How to tell which one you have? Pull the pan and check the casting numbers on the crank/rods. Or send a borescope down a spark plug hole and see if you have dished pistons. 5.3's had dished ( except for HO models ) and 4.8's had flat tops.

The question seems to be asking about year not how to ID a 4.8 or 5.3
