  • Are 1998 3.8L V6 DBC or DBW?

    I was wondering, are these cars DBC or DBW?

    If swapping in an LS motor (lets ignore the rest of the complexity of the swap), what would be necessary if you wanted to keep TCS and Cruise Control intact? I am assuming you would need to run a DBW PCM? (I was going to go with a P59 PCM due to flex fuel compatibility and segment swap what was necessary.)

    1998 v6 should be drive by wire. Don’t know about a LS swap , sorry. Should be write ups on the swap though.

      Thanks!

      Also do you generally know how the TCS and Cruise Control works? On LS1 cars there is a module on the passenger side of the engine bay that controls them with cables but not sure how that is handled on V6 cars.

        Don’t know about the newer engines, my 1996 Camaro had a box on the driver side upper engine which had the cable running up to the throttle body and the harness went to( either the pcm or the steering column) don’t remember). TCS on my 96’ I don’t know. You thinking of swapping in a LS engine?

              DBW started in 1999 - 1998 is cable with downturned UIM.
