I sent my ecm to a guy on eBay and was around $75 . He was super helpful and can tune for gear ratio cold air intake electric fans etc. Here's a picture of his eBay info.

Thanks for finding those guys for me rsgt. I just got off the phone with them and they are going to get me all fixed up.

Glad you were able to find a local place now you can run true dual exhaust with no cats.

I am glad it worked out.

Got a lot done today. I refilled all the fluids and found an immediate problem. I know I should have put on a new water pump when I did the motor tear down but I check everything and it looked really good. As it turns out the seal behind the pulley is bad because water started running out. Went to the local parts store and picked up a new one. Im going to finnish up the new fuel filler neck tomorrow and then ill try to start it up for the first time since the teardown.

The ecm would have to be reflashed first to delete anti theft passlock system for it to start unless you are using all the stuff from the donor like the body control module steering column etc. Just a thought you may have that all worked out already.

[Jason7121]

That's awesome!

happy thanks giving everyone.... Got a lot of work done on the truck today. Got the new grille, insert, headlights, etc. installed. Got the new rear bumper brackets made and installed and got the fuel filler installed. I also go the trailer hitch installed. And oh yeah I got her started today......She sounds sweet.

So Ive got an appointment to have the ecu reflashed and that will fix my tire size change, my o2 sensor delete, any engine related changes, etc. But where do I have the computer reprogramed for the inside components? I want to turn off the extra air bags, reprogram for the new factory stereo, etc. Any ideas?

[Jason7121]

You could take the bulb out of the cluster for the air bag light and for the factory stereo if it came out of the same vehicle everything else did it should work without being locked.

The radio that was in the tahoe was damaged. I purchased a replacement like new to put in.

[thetucks]

The front bumper and inner fenders are installed. The airbox and overflow are mounted.

[Jason7121]

If radio is locked dealer can program it. I do it at work for people who replace the radio themselves. Truck looks great with grille and bumper on.

I wonder what they are going to say when I pull up in a 72 chevy and say reprogram my radio please?

[Jason7121]
