    Problems with 06 P59 and 3 Bar SD OS

    Hey guys, just ran into a problem when doing the initial setup on my LS swap.
    The Car is a 69 Nova. The engine is a 5.3 L33. The ECU is a P59 with the 12606807 OS. Car has Drive-by-Wire or I would have considered swapping to another ECU.
    I'm also wanting to do a 4L60e to 4L80e segment swap.

    I noticed that the 3 Bar SD wasn't available when trying to change OS on my car.
    If I dig, it looks like the only 2006 truck P59 OS that supports 3 bar map is 12587811.

    Would it be possible to reflash to the 12587811 OS and do a 4L80e segment swap without any conflicts? Is there going to be an issue with the DBW?
    I guess the next question would be, where could I get the file, and would I need to re-license and use 2 more credits when doing this.

    Not new to tuning, just new to the HPTuners interface.

    I found a file with the 12587811 OS.
    It appears to be for a 6.0 with a 4L80e (my current ECU was setup for a 5.3 with a 4L60e), so I wouldn't have to do the transmission swap.
    How do I know if the drive-by-wire will be fully compatible? I think other than that, I shouldn't have any issues.

    I take it I will have to re-license this .hpt file, make my changes and then just flash it back to the ECU, and thats it?
