One of the mods i wanted to do was pcm controlled electric fans but i heard this pcm would not do it and there was another pcm that would do it but dont know what it would be.

PCM # 12200411 is capable of fan control, when flashed with fan code. Most 2001 / 2002 4.3 liter S-10 Pickups have the 12200411 PCM, which needs fan code update to run fans.

Thats the biggest mod i want to do. Will the 12200411 ecm plug right in or do i have to repin or reprogram? Is the 12200411 better than the 16263494 ecm?

The 12200411 conversion requires both RE-PINNING and RE-PROGRAMMING.

The 12200411would likely be better than the 16263494 for a couple reasons; it's a very common PCM and has OUTSTANDING aftermarket support for Flashing and Tuning. I've literally worked with hundreds of 12200411 PCM, I have not worked with a 16263494.

Some of the older "Black Box" PCM's are wired with the ABS system. I wonder if the 16263494 is wired with the ABS controls?

The 16263494 ecm has a separate abs control box off to the side.
