PCM controlled fans with 2000 5.3 setup.

I am helping a friend do the wiring harness for a 5.3 swap into a older carbed car. His engine, PCM, and harness are all from a 2000 5.3 Chevy truck. He wants the PCM to control the electric cooling fans. It appears the 99-02 ls1 PCM and his PCM have critical functions pinned the same, so would it be possible to use pins b42 and r33 like a ls1 PCM, and have the electric fan function turned on in the PCM? If not, is there any way to do this short of switching pcms?

Re: PCM controlled fans with 2000 5.3 setup.

you would have to get a custom tune for it to work. a 5.7 pcm might work but I doubt it. with a custom tune and the correct relay harness the 5.3 pcm will run the fans.

He already needs a tune due to removing emissions and stuff plus a cam swap. Nice to know it can be done, but would b42 and r33 be the correct pins to use?

I am building a harness for my 2002 5.3 and those are the pins I am using to power my fan relays. If you go to lt1swap.com, everything you need to know as far as PCM pinouts and wiring a stand alone harness are covered.
