I have what I think is a pretty easy question. I have a 99 C1500 5.7L Suburban with a 16263494 VCM running a 9365085 operating system. The burb is totally stock aside from a drop in K&N air filter. I've been towing with it more lately and the 60E is on the way out. I have an 80E in waiting and I want to swap it in.
I found a 98 C3500 5.7L stock tune in the repository. Comparing the two tunes, it appears the one for the C3500 is for an 80E. The operating system on the C3500 tune from the repository is 16263425. My question is should I do a segment swap or just change the VIN on the C3500 tune and upload it to my Suburban? I opened the two files and the segment swapper tool is still gray'd out, so I'm not even sure if this is possible.
The OS differences has me wondering if that's why there's an issue, but I downloaded a stock 98 Yukon file with the same OS as the C3500 and the segment swapper is still gray'd out. I've only messed with Gen III/IV stuff, so this Gen I stuff has me scratching my head.
