Default Reluctor help

Hi folks I'm somewhat new to ls engines I put a 5.3 into my 87 chev 3/4 ton used a doner truck so everything went smoothly and I had all the parts. Now I've moved on to bigger and badder things I am in the process of mating a lq4 6.0 to a th400 and I've got it stuffed in a shortened one ton chev frame with a 41 Plymouth body. Now my question my engine is out of a 2004 2500hd truck low mileage but it has drive by wire I would like to swap it to drive by cable so are the 2004 engines still 24x reluctor? If so I should be able to use a tuned stand alone ecm from my drive by cable 99 with a 6.0 with a 5.3 truck intake that is drive by cable and it should work? I never questioned it untill a friend started tapping it wouldn't work so I'm just looking for someone who knows

Default 2006 Patent Expirey

Hi, I make a DBW to DBC blade kit for the LS-2 90mm @ $135.00
This includes a new TPS with connector.

The 60-2 patent EXPIRED in 2006 thus earlier engines used the GM 24xe TW.

Thus your answer is YES

Lance

Yes the 2004 has a 24 reluctor wheel so you can use your 1999 setup.
