    Are the two PCM's compatible...?

    Is your Silverado's PCM 512KB...?
    Is your GTO's PCM 512KB or 1MB...?

    Try flashing the 2002 F-car 12212156 tune into your PCM.

    Pinouts might be slightly different (I haven't checked all of them...).

    The GTO PCM is 1MB. The connectors are blue/green.
    The Silverado PCM is 512kB. The connectors are red/blue.

    Both vehicles are cable throttle.

    Ah, you would be swapping PCM's...

    We would have to get hold of the PCM pinout diagrams and compare them

    ( they are available on the internet some place, I don't remember where )

    So here's what I'm understanding, I use the GTO PCM (depending on pinout), do a full pcm flash to custom os, then do a calibration only flash for the 'tune'.

    What OS is in your PTO PCM...?
    Is it listed in the LS1B COS tutorial...?
    If so, then yes, correct.



    ( and, if the pinout is different, you can repin the connectors, this is simple to do )

    Don't bother swapping to the 04 GTO PCM, it will just add more headache to what you're trying to do. Use the 02 OS 12212156 for a Silverado and start with that as your base file. If this is a swap, you can use a Camaro file too, just note the pinouts change. I *believe* the 00 and 02 Silverados have the same PCM pinout, I'd recommend double checking. Look at the DropBox for a base file, there are a few to choose from. Simply Full Flash this file into your 00 PCM and then begin the COS tutorial (replace .tun w/.ctz as Joe said).

    Follow the COS upgrade tutorial from there, this OS gives you COS5 which is the best COS EFILive has for the 512kb LS1B PCMs.

    Awesome! I guess I just need to find a way to double check the pinouts between the two.

    ...
    +1 I agree, it will be a distraction/tangent.

    A subscription to AllDataDIY may provide the info you need for a reasonable price, but I'd suggest searching around as I know you're not the first to do this so the info may be readily available!
