New michigan guy

[Tylerz281500]

Hey guys my names Tyler i came here from Via a thread on gmt400. im 19 and have owned an 88 stepside that had a 383 tbi in it, and currently own a 93 Yukon lifted with lots of engine mods, interior mods etc. My friend tuned chips for both of them and well id like to learn how to do this programming and tuning so i dont have to rely on him and can help other people. So far in the yukon i have the moates c2 sst chip with a custom tune, and the g1 adapter. ive downloaded tunerpro and thats about all thats made sense so far, i dont know how to get the xdf,bind or any of that onto tunerpros, or even the correct one. i have tons of questions but ill make sure to do a search first.
heres a picture of my yukon as of 3 months ago. alot has changed since then

Good looking truck!

Not sure but you may be the youngest member. My son is your age so my advice is be patient! I know that is impossable at that age but give it a shot. It takes awhile to get going, after you learn enough there's always more, it never ends. Just about every GM system is simalar, but differant. Little time each day, week by week and it all comes together. Don't think your going to learn it all in a day. I've got years into it and still learn each day!

What ECM do you have? Did you get the BCC off the chip or label from ECM? This will tell us what mask and data stream. To learn what that all means take a look at this thread:

Both your trucks may have the same $42 mask that this thread uses for example!

dont know what ecm i have, unfortunately the previous owner did a number on my truck and messed with alot. removing the stickers was on of his screwups. so far i have
93 ck with 3.73-4.10s as my bin file
$42 v4t xdf (not sure if its correct but it was on the startup thread) dont know where to find all the files and such yet
$42v3t adx file
and the xdl that was on the same thread i got all the other stuff from.

is this all the software i need? i just need an aldl connector for my truck but have to see if its 12 or 16 pin.
do i get an award for youngest member? =p im trying to be patient,im just eager to learn this stuff and make it do what i want. once i set my mind to something theres no stopping me.
i think my next mod will be getting a new wiring harness, i couldnt find the wiring for the knock sensor and esc since i first got the truck.

Well that's all the files you have but are they correct for the ECM in your truck?

Is the bin file the one that was burned for your truck? If so post it and I will tell you what it is for. Or post a picture of the ECM, it's sounding like 1227747 which is $42 mask ID.

There's only one ALDL cable plug for OBDI, it's 12 pin and looks like the one in this thread. There's also good info there.

Moates has cables, chips, burners, adapter and anything you will need! If your budget can afford it look at the AutoProm.

If the harness is not a mess the missing ESC and knock can be put back. Wiring diagrams and more on $42 here:

As for a prize for youngest member? Talk to me in a couple weeks, I know how 19 year olds are, one just moved back in with me!

There's only 2 kind in that year of truck. The files you mention, if they are for your ECM, it is a 1227747 with $42 mask ID. Another way to tell is your transmission? Is it 700R4 or 4l60e? 1993 is a strange year, your 1988 should be 1227747.
