 Subject: 2000 vs. 2001+ computer problem
IP: Logged
Message:
I've got a 2000 4.7, but I'm having to replace the PCM. The dealer is ordering a new part, so does that mean I'm gonna have a 2001+ comp with no aftermarket available now? I know the coding is different, but are the two interchangeable? I'm getting the truck in an hour, hoping I don't get the death flash tho I think I will, but I don't know how to tell if it's a 2000 PCM or not just by looking at it..

This sucks balls, cause it's gonna be another $350 or so, but it may be time to call Kenne Bell. If you can manage to wait long enough, I think there's a guy that will be hooking up the 4.7 guys including the '01s & up. He just needs time to get it all programmed.
Otherwise, I think KB may be your answer for the short term.....

Do you happen to know if I got a 2001+ or a 2000? Or how to tell?
Most of my mods are gonna weight, I don't even wanna face the depression of going back to the track till I get the computer fixed.
I guess you're referring to the optimizer II? That's an addon chip right?

What is that the routing they show in the diagram to route around the AC compressor?
If so whats the part# for that belt size I've been thinking on trying that route forever.

i found out that when you order a truck with ac the use different size pulleys so when you go get a belt that is for a truck without ac it wont fit yours. i have a 01 rt and i ended up having to buy pas the powersteering and ac before i found a belt that fit. i think it was a 56 or a 58 in belt that worked.

Mike D, I thought you had an R/T??
Well the one Alex is talkin about is one for the 4.7 that bypasses the power steering, but NOT the alternator like his original short belt did. The A/C pulley is still in use, I see now way you CAN bypass that, and keep things spinning in the same direction. It's just too big in diameter, it seems the belt will touch it any way I can figure to route it. That pulley is pretty darn free-spinning though, when the a/c is not turned on.

Oh, and if you or anyone else wants the part number for this belt I described on a 4.7, the one I used was Kelly Springfield part number 672K6 (6 rib, 1.7M)

I'll try and get an image of it up later on....
It totally works just fine, and the routing around the alternator caused no loss of power.
I ran a 14.53 @ 92 mph with the "really short" belt that missed the p/s pump and alternator.
I ran a 14.53 @ 92 mph with the "short belt" that missed just the p/s pump. But now I can run the a/c and roll down the power windows & stuff. It's cool.....

The few times, one actually, I had warranty work done, I told the service writer guy, the one that takes the truck for you and writes it all down, NOT, to flash my PCM. I told him I had no issues with pinging, and he said they wouldn't, and they didn't, whew!

I think I'd be pretty pissed if they death flashed my PCM. Why did you need a new one in the first place?

Old one shorted and fried, the new one had no programming, not much I could do. Doesn't matter really, when I get the cams I'm getting a flash anyways, so it won't be for long :)
Must....stay...optimistic!
