I'm not aware of anything that would stop you from flashing a new OS to a P59. I'm pretty sure I did that to my own P59 when we were finishing up P59 support a couple years ago.

There are two generations of DBW hardware, let's call them "early" and "late."
The OS, TAC, and pedal all need to be the same generation (all early, or all late).
The 7603 OS requires the early pedal/TAC/TB.

I'm told there's a workaround to use the late TB with early everything-else, by setting the max throttle opening angle to 90% in the tune. The TB will still open fully. I'm guessing you could use early TBs with late everything-else using similar creativity, but that's a science experiment that hasn't been tried as far as I know.

I'm in touch with a guy on Facebook who is making progress on an XDF for a P59 OS that works with the late pedal and TAC. There's no ETA, but he says it's coming along.
Please don't PM me with technical questions - start a thread instead, and send me a link to it. That way I can answer in public, and help other people who have the same question. Thanks!

I've found that a 6.5 turbo diesel pedal will work (not my idea got it from lt1swap.com.) which is perfect for me because my 95 k2500 was originally a 6.5 truck just have to trace out the wires. Thanks guys for all the info.

Now I have to rework my third harness. Lol finally got the second one about perfect. Oh well that's the hotrod hobby for you. and wait for all the motor parts.
