Convert ETC to cable TB

[xtreme]

I am helping a customer that installed a 5.3 out of a 05 truck into a 83 pickup. Can I delete the Electronic throttle control and use a cable throttle body? There are other issues with the IAC ..etc.. Does anyone have any wiring information help for this conversion?

Yes. I have done this.

I just bolted on parts to the newer longblock and then used an Operating System that didn't have fly by wire. My engine was a 2004 LM4.

I changed the throttle body and wiring harness. I think most all of the sensors were the same. I think I played around with the steam tubes. It wasn't that bad. Small mods.

I don't think the 05 5.3L engines have a different crank reluxor than 2004 5.3L engines. You would have to ask.

I guess that you used a wiring harness and a 512 PCM. He was wanting to use the 1mb PCM. Is there a OS for the 12582605 PCM that supports the cable throttle body.

Did anyone come up with an answer or is it a case of buy a 512 ECU?

I bought a 6.0 out of an 06 van that was still cable throttle. I believe all the vans were cable throttle up to 06, if you found a file from a van it might have cable throttle. I thought I saw one on holdercrazy some time back.

here is one from holder crazy, it's for an 04 with a 6.0 but you could try a full flash, the pcm might accept it, if it does then just find a 5.3 of the same os and do a segment swap.

I did a transplant a couple of months ago (2001 DBW Denali 6.0ltr into Jeep Wrangler) The owner "INSISTED" on a cable operated throttle body instead of the drive-by-wire.
I did a full re-flash on the Denali pcm using the OS from a 2001 Silverado 6.0 w/ cable throttle body
Located and pinned out the signal's for the TPS & IAC. Fired right up...
Also, I used the wiring harness from the Denali.

In looking over the various Calibrations it seems there are those with ETC in them even though they are cable, the diagnostic processes are different for the two, I am going to set up the diagnostic enablers as per a cable car in regards to TAC module communications, throtlle processes and IAC and see what happens.

That didn't work. Oh Well

Had the 512 PCM opened up and there were no IAC drivers. The Calibration went in and ran fine but no idle motor control, there may be 2 512kb PCM part no's?
