What years Silverado 5.3 had drive-by-cable
 

I'm getting ready to look for a 5.3 vortec to swap into my 65 C10 and I would like to get one with a cable controled throttle body. I think the 99 thu 02 used the cable, 03 and up had electronic controls. Anyone know if this is correct?

Thanks

It's either ALL 2003s or somewhere in the middle of the year of 2003 they swapped from DBC to DBW. I always look for 2000-02 for DBC engines. But if you get the TAC module and pedal from whatever truck the engine and harness/ECU came from, it isn't much harder to mount the pedal and TAC module.

You can just buy a cable drive tb , the ls1's are the same as the vortec trucks , you can buy them pretty cheap , if I were you I'd buy an ls6 intake to put on the motor too
