    Default dbw lq4/t56 magnum swap in 93 lightning 2 bar custom os question

    I've got a 93 lightning with a 6.0/t56 magnum and a vortech blower running the 2 bar map sensor os for an 03 computer
    my tuner has not been able to find a manual trans os that is compatible with the 2 bar map os so he basically tuned the
    auto os to where ot will work but I won't be able to use my cruise the way it setup now. Does anyone know of a tune file
    for an 03 cumputer that has a manual? I've looked everywhere and have not been able to find one. I was thinking a 4.8/5 speed
    might work but I can't find one for that either. Thank you in advance for any help

    you will probable be best to start with a camaro or vette calibration (5.7/manual) year will depend on throttle body cable or dbw
    97 2500 ecsb 5.7l/4l80e/4x4 411 pcm /thorley tri-y's/dual super 40's with x (catless)/aem cai/msd 6a and coil/zz4 cam/beehive spring/lm-1

    stock sucks

    No, its a 1MB DBW ECM. Dont limit yourself to 03, 03-05 OSs all interchange AND have COSs available.

    First, what harness are you using/what are the pinouts at the PCM? Fullsize truck or Vette? Pedal assembly is from which?

    If its a Vette harness/pedal assembly, use an 04 COS that corresponds to this tune file from TuneFileDepot: 2004 Corvette Coupe Manual 5.7 Litre (LS1) 12587603 (PCM) LS1B. The COS3 OS is 04073003.

    For a truck, you can use either of these files:
    2004 Escalade SUV Automatic 6.0 Litre (LQ9) 12587603 (PCM) LS1B
    2004 Silverado Truck Automatic 5.3 Litre (LM7) 12587603 (PCM) LS1B


    Do a seg swap using the previous Vette file and now you have a truck OS with a manual trans segment. The Escalade OS would be my preference simply because its already a 6L tune, just for a LQ9 not LQ4 (LQ9 is the higher compression/performance LQ4). Your tuner should be able to get you going with this info, he will have to script the existing tune over and of course adjust the COS tables.

    Then use this, I got bored. 04 Escalade LQ9 file with a manual trans segment. Give this to your tuner and have him use COS 04073003. Should do what you want it to!

    Used the manual seg from the Vette tune in my previous post for reference.
