Can I convert to flex fuel?

[JUSTASBC]

I will be running E85 in my truck very soon, but most of the time I would like to run E10 regular gasoline. I was thinking of switching tunes when I make the change of fuel(basically back on forth on the days I go to the track). I see that there is a fuel sensor GM 13577394 that might work if I knew how to wire it in. I have been unable to find what I need to know to make this work. What exactly do I need to do? It appears that some vehicles calculated an estimated alcohol percentage in the fuel through sensors. I am not sure that I can make this work as I am running without a MAF. I am running the COS in my sig. Any help would appreciated.
Thanks,
Daryl

intrested in doing this for the older 02-03 style pcm too...

What is your OS? I found a flex fuel version of my OS. It looks like I can flash it in and run the wire to pin 56 of the blue plug. The sensor takes a neg, 5v, and the wire that returns to pin 56. I am learning more abiut this, and will hopefully be able to give good info about this.

This is a good idea. Can any one tell us if it possible to run the sensor to run e85 on the earlier type ecm's.

I have changed everything to make this work at the end of last year. My alcohol sensor is properly reading the percentage, and everything appears to be working. I have everything but the good weather to try it out, I even have the E85. I actually dont see why this wont work. I found a flex fuel version of my OS, but I am not sure if you could make this work with just enabling the tables.

2002 Gen III truck used a 512Kb PCM.

2003 Gen III truck used a 1Mb PCM.

These are not the same ......

Flex Fuel was available in some trucks in 2002 (512Kb PCM). Look for a tune from an L59 5.3L engine (these were Flex Fuel). Typically the OS is 12216125 - and could be DBC or DBW.

Did you get the flex fuel working im trying to get it to work on my 04 looks like all the tables are there i put the sensor on and it has voltage going to the pcm but im not seeing it on the data log

[danny68ss]

this is my flex tune

Yes, I have this working perfectly. I did a segment swap of an E85 version. I can fill up or even a half tank with E10 or E85, and it automatically calculates what I need. I can also log the ethanol % change.
