Default The salvage yard ripped me off..

I got a motor delivered from the salvage yard. They said it was from an '04 suburban 5.3l. It came with a harness and PCM. But, it was throttle cable, blue and red connectors and a 411 PCM. Anyone know if I can find a vin on the block and ID it? I would know what to request for when I flash and tune this thing. Also, can I use a '02 harness with an '04 block?

So what if the motor was an '04 and the harness was the red and blue. Should I follow the pin removal off of the '02 harness?

The pinouts area going to be very similar. There is a few sensor changes over the years but the main components such as injectors, coils, MAF, MAP, TPS, Crank, Cam etc are all going to be located in the same pin location. The only real difference on the red/blue connector PCM's is whether its DBW or cable TBw/ IACV.

The main components on the engine itself didn't change any from 99 to 06 besides oil pressure and type of throttle body and possibly injector clips from various different models.

Your motor is a 2002 from the looks of it. Going off of your tag you supplied, im going to guess that the full vin was 3GNFK16ZX2G197698

Sounds to me as tho a call to the jy is in order. If it's an 02, they owe you the correct engine and accessories...
