    Running 4.8 pcm with 5.3

    How can I upload a basic 5.3 tune to change it from 4.8?

    Take a stock 5.3 file that matches your OS to make things super easy, then open that file with the compare feature to your original 4.8 file.

    Then click the compare feature again, then comparasion log. In the new window collapse all the boxes and then right click the engine icon. Once you right click it will ask you what you want, click copy over all differences.

    This will make the tune file as if it was a stock 5.3 like you need.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    having used the 4.8 tune to support a 5.3, there was no real immediate noticeable concerns. It actually seemed to have bumped the MPG up, but that could have been an abnormality or anomaly to the situation.

    Would it pass I/E testing or risk kr with mods/F.I. ? ; idk.
