@SimpleGreen, What did you do for the speedometer and transmission? I think if your truck is like 96 and up then it's no big deal because it's mostly electronic anyways. Mine is a 93 and is mostly still mechanical haha
My truck is a 93 with a 96 interior. However, even if I had the 93 interior still the speedometer would have worked. It was electronic too. The transmission is a 2002 unit and is controlled by the LS PCM. The LS PCM sends the speedo signal to my 96 cluster fine. Actually, all my gauges work like stock.

As for MPG, it gets about 15-16 with me driving like an arsehole the whole time.
