FYI - my transmission issue was a wire that was set in the wrong pin location. I just had to move the wire one position over and it fixed the problem.

If you don’t already have the information you can purchase the CM 554 pinout card on ebay. Just search for CM554 and something should pop up like the attached image.

As an FYI - the ISC and ISL engines look nearly identical and share some common parts. One big difference is the ISL switched to the common rail system in 2004.

If it’s a 2008 I would assume it’s an 8.3L ISC, not an ISL. I think 2003 was the last year for a CAPS ISL. 2004 and up ISL’s are all common rail.

There is a group of ISL engine serial numbers in...
