Question Can I use a 07 pcm on 04 ls motor

My question is can I use a 07 z71 pcm and stand alone harness on a 04 ls 5.3 ls swap.I’ve seen a couple plugs are different will it work if I use the 07 alternator which is a 2 pin and not four like the 04.And I got to swap out the DBC for DBW.Will it work? What are things to look out for?

Most likely no, because the 07 Ecu is almost certainly a 58x reluctor and the 04 motor a 24x reluctor.

You could change the reluctor by removing the crank. But you cannot make a 58x Ecu interpret a 24x signal

If the 07 PCM is the same P59 style you can use it.

Both of the above replies are correct. It depends on the specific PCM.

If it is a 07 classic you can use it.

You'd need to make a few tuning changes - such as the displacement, but if they are compatible - i.e. both 24x - you can make the motor run fine.

Lingenfelter used to sell a 58x to 24x signal conversion box. I had one for a long time.

My computer was a 24x 98 PCM. You can make a 24x computer read a 58x signal but I’m not sure you can do it the other way around.

I actually highly doubt it because you would need to multiply the signal instead of just filtering it. I just don’t know for sure. Maybe someone out there has tried it.
