Default What functions will I lose

Looking to replacing my existing 5.2 and NV3500 with a 5.9/408 stroker with Fitech EFI and NV4500.
If I dump the existing factory ECM what features will I lose on the truck?
Cruise control? Rear ABS?
Thanks for your input.

Default Truck year is 2001

I guess that would help, it is a 2001.
Thanks.

The PCM (as its called) controls about everything. But you will lose all gauges, abs, motor or tranny won't work, fuel pump, cruise, ac, and a whole bunch more

Given that you have an 01, you can still do the engine/trans swap, just need a custom tune for the motor/trans combo for it to run right.
