I used the stock 5.3 flywheel etc. What's going on here? Will the programming take care of this or is it an issue with compatibility?

I'm still confused about what the original problem was. You said 'since I put the in the crank sensor isn't reading the trigger anymore"

What does that even mean?

The suspension service/trac control message is due to the misfire DTC which disables those systems.

it means that I have had the crank sensor code since the engine was installed. The problem was a broke rocker arm and an incorrectly programmed ecm.

A lawsuit. That seems a little extreme. Sorry for your issues but you don't seem to know much about ls engines or anything about your setup in general which is always going to make things more difficult for the shop to help you diagnose issues since you don't know the difference between a nut and a bolt.

So for you to assume you know me bc of a few post on a forum about an engine that someone else built well that makes you a dumbass. I have a pretty good understanding of ls engines and ********* like you think that your the only people in the world that know how an engine works. It's a small block not a ge90x (Google it) bc I paid a speed shop WELL to build am engine for me and they fu**ed it up yeah that is plenty of reason to sue over. I didn't see where you chimed in on any of this anyways so wtf does it matter to you. Go jump in your lil rice burner and try to pick up some under age girls or something and leave the technical **** to people that know what their talking about

there is a laundry list of problems. I eventually pulled compression and nothing on # 8 So pulled the valve cover and the rocker arm was broke. The ecm was another problem had to be reprogrammed the company that did built the engine subed out the programming to a company and they messed up some of the parameters. So you have to use some common sense in life and realize that not everyone is sitting at a desktop and some people are replying while they're working or doing other things and just like texting there are mistakes in the sentencing.
I had the similar codes when the evap purge valve went out so I was seeing if there was a simple solution to so me of this.
