    Its because a truck requires a completely different operating system, insert the proper operating system and you'll be better able to tell if you have any other issues.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    In 2002 the trucks and F-body used the same hardware, do not
    know about the Commodore Holden though. You need to cross
    reference these platforms and see. If the hardware is different
    then the platform interface may be as well, wrong connector
    assignments are possible and so on. If the Holden PCM is the
    same type then writing a truck tune and VIN entire may bring
    it around. Do not know if you have to change the VIN first, it
    might be a good idea, some fussiness about VIN/OS match and
    having a Holden VIN may prevent you from writing the truck
    OS. I'd check into this, order of operations etc.

    The first thing what I do that step (changed the VIN), then I open VATS after I changed all hardware (file from 5.7L ls1 to 6.0L) is not matter, but what I think her is the wires in pcm is different must changed place I now that before the A/C signals get from wire #17 but want to check in these pcm also.
