Youre going to get fresh air out of that hole. It will help keep the ECU cool. Id leave it.

Here goes another question. Want to use my stock tachometer. The 5.3 ecu gives out a signal likes it a 4 cylinder engine. Don't know why, I was told that. Anyway I need to buy the dakota digital SGI-8 module. I would like to install the module under the dash and run the wires through the firewall. I have a ready made wire on my S&P harness thats marked "tach", and need to know where the wire is that goes to my tach gauge. I believe its a white wire, according to the manual. If its under the hood, that would be great, because
looking at the harness behind the instrument cluster looks like a pain-in-the-a**% to get to to. Does anyone know where that wire might be under the hood? :ugh2:
Maybe this will help. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/lsx-t...bs-z-71-a.html

It should be the white wire that goes to the distributor.You shouldn't need a dakota module to use your stock tach.I am using the signal from the 5.3 ecu and my tach works perfectly.You may have to change something in the tune to make it work properly.
S & P told me that 03 and up need the module because the ecu puts out a 4 cylinder signal , resulting in your tach not working right. How exactly did you wire yours?
Did some searching. Found out on youtube, its the white wire at the coil. Problem solved.
Today I had to seperate my instrument cluster, and I think I didn't put the temp needle back where its suppose to be. How can I get the needle right on temperture?
Got the truck started. Good oil pressure. Had the exhaust hooked up. Took it for a spin. The speedometer doesn't work, the lights at the instrument cluster are not on for (P,N, R,D,1,2,3), and it won't shift out of 1st gear. I piggy-backed the 95 VSS connector to the 03 VSS connector and still the speedometer doesn't work. I tried changing those two wires at the VSS around, still nothing. All of the transmission connectors are hooked up from the 03 harness, except for the one rectangular one on the drivers side, ( it has 6 wires at that connector) which is coming from the 95 harness. Any ideas?
that rectangular plug with 6 wires is for the prndl indicator Thats why it wont indicate what gear you're in
Thanks. The prndl indicator light works. Still the truck won't go into 3rd and 4th. Plus the speedometer doesn't work. Anybody?
