I’m in the process of putting a 5.3 back together in an s10 swap I’m working on. I cannot figure out what goes into the bolt hole pictured. It is at the back of the valley cover on the passenger side next to the cam position sensor.
I made the mistake of not tightening that bolt down after a 5.3 swap in our 05 Tahoe and ended up having connectivity issues with DBW. It was kind of a PITA to reach once everything was back together and in the vehicle. I've found that working on trucks is not something I'm fond of.

Years ago, I had a customer with an '06 Suburban with a DBW problem that would send it into Limp mode; it would NEVER do it when he brought it into the shop, and I replaced EVERY part of that system, and ran continuity/ shorting checks on every single wire. Everything checked out good, and he still had problems.
