Is bcm needed because of tow/haul mode?Nope, my swap ran for almost 6 months with no BCM in it. I only added a BCM because I wanted tow/haul mode.
For how I did mine it was. I know at one time BT was offering a way to activate it without a BCM.Is bcm needed because of tow/haul mode?
01 LB7 ECM's are different from 02-04. 01 doesn't have the circuit to read oil pressure iirc, no egr ability, and had some internal differences as well as operating system differences(hence why if you flash an 01 ecm to an 02 OS and then back to an 01, it permanently corrupts the change engine oil segment leaving the message on all the time). But the pinouts are the same as far as I know.from what I know, the ECMs for all years of the LB7 are the same. the only difference would be the pinout for the oil level sensor and the difference shown for the manual vs auto signal. the rest I would think is the same.
the diagrams I posted ate from GMUpfitter.com and has always been reliable for me and others as it comes straight from GM. I have no idea of the source or reliability of other providers. but I may be wrong and there may be differences. I would wait and see if anyone else has any insight on this
that's what I was thinking. do you have any explanation for the discrepancies between the different documents posted above? I've always found GMUpfitters to be reliable bit have never used Alldata or any others01 LB7 ECM's are different from 02-04. 01 doesn't have the circuit to read oil pressure iirc, no egr ability, and had some internal differences as well as operating system differences(hence why if you flash an 01 ecm to an 02 OS and then back to an 01, it permanently corrupts the change engine oil segment leaving the message on all the time).

Alldata gets there diagrams straight out of the GM service manuals and have found virtually no differences between alldata and my GM disc.that's what I was thinking. do you have any explanation for the discrepancies between the different documents posted above?
