How bad is it to do the air controls?

If you have a 95-00, it's simply four push in T5 LED bulbs.

Looks really nice!
I knew my fog had a bulb in it but didn't know the cargo had it too, I guess I'll be taking both of them apart and puting new bulbs in.

Definitely an easy job. Takes about 20 minutes for disassembly and soldering on the two switches.

I didn't even realize they were supposed to light up, until I saw them illuminated in Dave's truck.

Received my transmission temperature and pillar pod yesterday. Started working on it last night as it got dark.

Does it create a blindspot at all?

Not really, It's almost 100% inline with the natural blind spot the A-pillar creates.

For those of you questioning the accuracy of the test port for the sending unit. Here's a comparison between my stock pan mounted sending unit in my 4L80E and the aftermarket guage.

Your CMPRET is .5 out of spec.

Good info though, I've wondered myself as I use the test port. Of course I could have compared with EFILive via the stock sensor too. . .

Ha! Of course it'll be at 2,383 rpm!

Added a compass / temperature rear view mirror. Found out, if the truck had a compass mirror from the factory, the wiring for the temperature probe was already there. I didn't realize that until I already built a new harness for the sensor and ran it up to the headliner.

Just went back and read the whole thing and saw this. I have a compass/temp mirror in the garage and my truck came stock with a compass mirror. So they plug right in? Where do the temp wires come out?

I just installed my compass/temp mirror. Compass is off for some reason even after setting the zone, but it works. My compass quit working in my old mirror. There was a small 2 wire plug on the new mirror that the old mirror didn't have. Is that just power and ground? I mean I can rob that from my overhead console. I've been avoiding this install for a long time now because I didn't feel like running yet another harness up the headliner that probably wouldn't fit in the first place.

I'm sure you could trace the wiring down the a-pillar and find the wires from there, instead I ran fresh wires up to mine. I just clipped the wires at the factory mirror pigtail and spliced in my external wires.

On the calibration of the mirror, that's another thing. I know the calibration mode and zone settings usually worked best for me. You can go drive in figure 8's in a parking lot for a while...
