cam on a stock 1999 new gen silverado
#11
Can you give us some info on this?
I have a '00 5.3 and will be doing a cam swap soon, along with 8.1L injectors and exhaust. I also have HPTuners to do my own tuning after everything's finished and running. How would I eliminate the false KR issue? Could I just replace the '00 tables in the "Knock section" of my tune with those from an '01 PCM file, with my current '00 HPTuners vehicle license? Or would I have to buy an '01 license and upload the complete .bin file to my PCM?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

For my particular situation, I encountered this false KR problems years ago, before the tuning experts figured out a fix by just working with their lap top. I had to replace my 99 PCM with an 02 PCM (which I bought 2 of so I could always send one out to be updated while still driving my truck), I also had to get a newer model alternator (upgraded to a 145amp which I believe is for an 03 Denali), different belt to accommodate the alternator, replace the connector going into the alternator with a two wire connector, and run a wire from the alternator to the PCM...something to do with the PCM monitoring the alternator and/or duty cycling it I ran the truck for a while with just the 02 PCM and no alternator mods, and the battery light would blink slowly, non- stop. The alternator/wire to pcm cured the blinking batt light for me, but now the experts and well informed tuners know how to fix that issue with their tuning software. Unfortunately, it hasn't been in the cards for me to get into the tuning end of it yet, so I honestly have no idea what keys you have to hit I know for sure that there are folks on this site that definitely do know though
