GTO E40 into second gen S10 or Blazer
Has anyone successfully swapped an LS2 GTO engine and trans into a second gen s10 or blazer? Let me qualify what I mean by ?successfully.? By saying that, not only do the engine and transmission function, but all other options as well., ie,. AC, Cruise, cooling fans, gauges, and so on.
I have a project where I have put an ?05 GTO LS2/T56 into an ?03 Blazer Xtreme, originally equipped with a 4.3/5 Speed. I have the engine running, still in a pre-tune, but running none the less. My first sign of unsuccess is that my ECT and fuel level gauges do not work. Using a scan tool (HP Tuners) I can see that both signals are being seen by the processor. They are just not being sent to the gauges. Confirming the wiring, my harness provider suggested the GTO?s E40 ECM may need to be flashed as an SSR/Trailblazer to get the gauges functioning. In doing some yet limited research on this, I found that doing that may cause other issues, such as no fan control, need for a different DBW gas pedal, AC and cruise not working.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!!!
