Kinja'd!!!

3 day weekend from work + spring break from college = finally starting a 0411 PCM swap on my GMT400 Suburban! Hopefully it goes well because this thing sure takes up a lot of space in the driveway.

It’s a popular thing to do on these trucks. It swaps the old, clunky, slow, hard to tune ECM for the 2001+ LS style. Faster processors, better tuneability, provisions for electric fan control, and tow/haul mode!

Not as such... It requires first getting the new ECM tuned for your application, then repinning the entire ECM harness (plus adding a few wires from the transmission), then once it’s running you’ll need to find a shop that can do a crank position relearn with a GM tech II scan tool. So far I’m only into it about $250ish, though, so that’s cool I guess.
