Shipping to 70503? I see you have the DRL switch. How did you hook it up? I have one but haven't gotten around to hooking it up yet. I'm fixing to change out my dash and when I do that I was going to look into hooking up the switch.

Let me box it up and get an actual price. How do you want to pay, PayPal will need to be a gift or add 3.5%.

I am playing around with my new Z56 cluster and can confirm the Tach, speedo and shift selection indicator don't work without the wire fix. However, semi dumb question but I'm pretty sure the lead on the STS shown in the first post doesn't need to be there. It could be anywhere on the common ground for the entire cable. There are various other places you could easily wire this to, perhaps even pinning it down on the ground side of a bulb socket. Just a thought. Please correct me if I'm wrong but the soldering to this thing is kind of annoying, not a lot of contact area, it's very flat. etc.

Just installed mine. I also second the soldering on glow and sts to work. In my case I hate my solder joints, so I soldered in the twist locks so in case my solder joins fails, I can install the jumper and twist them in the copper film like the lights. I'll post my accuracy from the ecm to the z56 guages

It's pretty much dark enough to see the guages lite up... side note, does anybody recall on there guage, do the rpms have a delay whenever you first start up?? My original cluster the rpms would jump whenever you started it. Now the truck starts up and after 2 seconds the rpms rise up to 500 or 1000.
