    Did GenIII PCM's ever have flex fuel?

    Yes. Going back as far as 2002 (maybe even 2001), you could get a flex fuel tahoe (VIN Z, L59 engine). It has an alcohol sensor to determine ethanol content as well as 33#/hr injectors as opposed to the 25#/hr injectors that the VIN T/LM7 non-FFV 5.3L has.

    Well it looks like the EFILive wizards have that covered too. At the very least, the L59 for 03 & 06 look like they have Flex Fuel options listed.

    Unlikely to see the factory flex fuel listed as a calibration if it does not come from GM like that.

    The later ones (E38/E67 etc) have flex fuel capability built in. EFILive has given more access to that with this release which simplifies things somewhat.

    There are shops doing E85 cals on LS1's though. I would guess VE table etc and spark are the main areas to maximise the value of the E85.

    An E38 flex fuel cal gives a reasonable idea of what GM is doing to support flex fuel.

    I've had several vehicles pre E38 or E67 that were Flex Fuel. Though it wasn't called that back in the day.
