Default Throttle conversion problems

I have a 2001 DBW truck that I planned on swapping an LS2 throttle+Radix on to this weekend. I tested the throttle this afternoon with a straight adapter harness and the truck threw all the TAC codes and went into REP. I have a DrX link leftover along with a 2002(?) TAC module. Would either of these be worth trying to get them to work?

If I can't get the LS2 throttle to work, the other option would be to order a billet throttle that accepts the stock actuator motor and TPS sensor. The billet throttle is made for Corvettes, is the Corvette actuator motor and TPS the same as the early DBW trucks?

Thanks!

As far as I know the actuator motor and TPS is the same between the Corvette and early model DBW trucks, except that the motor is on the opposite side of the throttle body. I don't know if there would be a clearance issue having it face towards the suppercharger or not.

I have the vette/car ls2 throttle.

The X link is the version 1, I used it on my 2005 and it worked flawless. It is not supposed to be necessary on the 2001-2002 trucks.

The problem I am having is probably due to my eyesight. I was attempting to use a Vette harness adaptor which only has 4 wires coming from the TPS. The trucks have six wires coming from the TPS. Thanks to Richard @ WCCH the correct adaptor is on the way

The X link is not for sale yet, I am going to make sure everything checks out OK after I do the swap before I let it go.
