Default 2004 Silv 4.3L to 5.3L Swap Issue

I do the computer work for a shop that did a 4.3 to 5.3 swap on a 04 Silv. The donor vehicle was a 06 Suburban and pretty much everything engine wise got swapped from it including the fuse box. Only issue remaining to be solved is the battery light is on in the cluster. We are only seeing 13.1 to 13.9 charging voltage with the engine running depending on the load we put on it. But it also has the current sensor on the negative battery cable that the original wiring on the 04 didn't have. It got moved over with the 06 Wiring harness. Any advise on how to get the battery light off? No codes are being set ATM.

2xLS1, sorry to hijack your thread here, but I don't know how to get ahold of you. Was going to try to get some info from you on another forum, but it looks like I got banned immediately after joining it... Dunno. I saw you had a way to get the fuel gauge to not work in reverse on the GM trucks and was wondering what was needed to fix it. If you could spare a few minutes, that would be great. Thanks in advance. Admins, sorry for the post. Desperation...

Give more details on the MY platform and PCM calibration you are using and what you think is causing the problem. The other one I helped with was using a 04 calibration with 03 hardware. The fuel gauge tables were flipped between the 2 MYs. He was able to post his true 04 .bin, I was able to edit and input the 03 table into it. I can work with .bin, .hpt, or .cal, but not .tun.

Thanks for the response in here. I'm sorry I hadn't found a better way of doing it.
I'm using two different PCM's. One in the 2005 Yukon XL that's getting left alone and a "spare" are both OS 12592618. I wrote a 2004 OS 12587603 BIN and XDF on the spare from SNOMAN002's github . The problem I'm having is that the fuel tank is showing full when it's not, even after flipping the PWM values under Fuel Gauge Calibration in TunerPro. Here is a link to my github with what I'm using. Hopefully I covered my bases there. Thanks again.

Post your BINs here I'm not going to try and figure out what you are using from that list. I need the original unaltered read .bin from the 05 Yukon and the 04 7603 bin. file you are trying to use. There is probably a bunch of other **** that's not right using a 04 file in a 05. Tuner Pro XDFs don't show all tables that other commercial products show.
And I've said it on that other site and I'll say it here. Using free editing solutions, while admirable that people are trying to develop them is causing people to use mismatched OS in vehicles because lack of XDFs for all the OS. There are a lot of differences in the OS used in 03-07 classics and you cant just run any 03-07 on a 04 OS that has a XDF. It's causing a lot of problems people are unaware of because they are unaware of the differences.

There is a password on the xdf file...Do you know what it is?
