I have a 2004 GMC Sierra Base WT. I mean Base too. No PW or PL, 4.3L, CD was the only option it had. Anyways I have had it a while now and want to swap it to at least a PW, PL, 6.0L or 5.3L truck. I know anout the engine swap but the PW/PL swap is new grounds for me. What will I need to do it? I'm assuming it'll be a pain in the *** but does anyone have a step-by-step or anything regarding to doing this? Can it even be done right? Any help appreciated. I have access to a 2003 fully loaded truck, I have already got the leather out of it and put it in, and the pw regulator and motors, pw switch and door panel, and I am working on the wiring now. Will new rivets need to be made in order to do this or not? I haven't looked at my truck yet.

 

Make sure you pull all of the wiring for the swap. You will also need the BCM out of the donor truck. This is the body control module, its controls several functions. You may have to get it reflashed by the dealer when your done. this only like a $30 fee. other than that it should be plug and play. All of the doors on our trucks are the same, so the holes to mount the window regulators should be there. Yes new rivets will be needed. HTH.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'll probably get to work on it soon.

 

just do the aftermarket kit, I have it on my truck and it works great very simple to install

 

Who makes that kit? How much is it? What all did it include? What about wiring to the fuse box? Did you also do pl? Thanks man, this sounds like it will be easier.

 

I didn't know they made them...shows how much research I have done huh? Been too busy with the c'maro, lol.
