the sensor is on the center of the core support and you just run the wires to it. Look up the compas temp mirror install should be the same for what you got

I just installed one of these in my 97 tonight.

I believe that the only options that will work with OBD I is the temp and compass

the listing on ebay says they do but only 6 wires contradiction i know but the ones with 6 wires only have temp and compass it'll be here soon so ill know for sure but as you said i dont think you can do the trip calculator on these trucks which is cool with me i mainly bought it for the temperature and the fact it was 99cents for two :eek:
