Default Is this TAC from a C6?

I bought this about a year ago from someone at a swap meat. He had a box with a few of them in there, and i grabbed this one since it was the nicest. I've noticed that most the other C5 TAC that i see don't have metal and are just completely black. I've never seen one on a C6 so i'm not sure about them. The connectors that plug into it are the same.

So is this one from a C6 and not a C5? I'm using an engine and harness from an 02 vette, and if it is from a C6 will it work? Or do i need to try to find and purchase one from a C5?



thanks,
Steve

:agree: Seems like a strange place to post this vs the tech section. I have no idea what he is talking about either. Its like we walked up in the middle of a conversation... with himself.

Its a throttle actuater controller. Its what controls the electronic throttle body in your cars.

I had no idea where i should post it, so i figured here would be good....

Try the C6 tech section... if it doesnt involve exhaust, color, tranny type, or your personal ethics it doesnt belong here

Ok ok Im kidding.. but do try the tech section

It isn't from a C6. The LS2 doesn't use a separate TAC module. The ECM talks directly to the throttle body angle sensor and throttle plate motor.

Looks like the TAC from a C5,but all that I have seen were black.The C6 TAC is an integral part of the PCM.

the c5's are completly black, no metal bracket on them. Someone told me maybe from an escalade then, i didn't even think about that.
