What's involved in lsx swap?

[Mike]

At this point I don't think so. I'm probably going to remove it entirely this summer.

I know a lot more about the wiring setup now than I did when I first dug into it.

so how much of thewiring clean up was due to the wipple that was on it?

 

[Mike]

The only thing I had to do for the whipple was put a dash switch on the electric blow off valve. Everything else is normal.

that makes the wiring all that much more intimidating to me lol

 

[Mike]

All i did was snip off all the wires that i wasn't going to be using from the old harness and the new harness is pretty much standalone except for maybe 8 splices. (tach/speedo/brake switch/ses light/12v)

ok... this is all in the instructions correct?

Does the air bags run off the harness at all? I know you have the ABS turned off. What about stuff like the wipers and head lights are they their own harness or part of the main one?

Also that wright up is amazing!!!! Thank you

Airbags...no. ABS can operate via original computer, or new computer. ABS controller just needs to have a single wire VSS input from the/a computer. Wipers, headlights are truck wiring systems & are not engine computer related.

you need your AC wiring, oil pressure, water temp, ALT.

the "factory ecm" does nothing motor wise.
if your going to do it on your own, get a complete pull out motor imo. i didnt an i spent more money chasing parts vs buying a pull out.
its pretty simple, read my thread its got a lot of pics an small write ups about what i did an why i did it.
mine is a 94 chevy with a 2008 5.3 an 2006 4L60E
