2002 Silverado - 80E segment swap?
2002 Silverado - 80E segment swap? Did a fair amount of searching but wasn't able to find an exact answer. I have a 2002 Silverado that came originally with a 4.8L and a 4L60E, 2WD. The 4L80E has been mechanically swapped in and I'm aware of the wiring change I need to make at the round trans connector as well as the PCM pins.
What I'm unsure of is whether or not I need to segment swap this PCM. This truck could have been originally optioned with an 80E if you got the 6.0L (1500HD) and thus there is a option in the drop down trans menu for 80E. I am assuming I still need to do a segment swap regardless?
Thanks,

And yes, for the ol' 0411... P01
Can this tune be used to segment swap my original 2002 Silverado tune? I'd rather not flash that tune to my PCM since technically I think I'd have to license that file and burn up 2 credits.
Flex is not a huge deal...I can just fill up with E85 and tune for that alone since this is not a daily.

It's free to swap the segment... You just need the segment. You could also try downloading one for a Silverado or something too, if that one is not compatible. It should be compatible though. It's pretty easy, and yes, under the compare feature in the tune. Just open YOUR file you wish to change first, then open the one I gave you, or a stock Silverado one or something similar with the 80E segment, select "segment swapper" and then select transmission. Should be it. Make sure you back up everything beforehand, it doesn't always work out from what I hear. That particular one works perfectly fine though. It's been a while since I did it.
Here's a video on it.

Must be nice to have that unlimited cred! Us mere mortals are not worthy of such power... LOL. Oh the things I would tune with that.
We have been tuning efi almost 20 years now, we purchased unlimited alot of times and some times just got it from tuning enough of the same vehicle. It was nothing that happened over night though. Between SCT, HPT, SPS and EFI we have spent a fortune on licensing over the years but its worth it because without them we wouldnt be where we are today.
