    so according to this if i ground one wire and run the other wire from the fuel level sending unit to Pin 54 on the C2 Connector then the gauge should have the signal it needs to work correct?

    Well I'm no expert but you have the same issue I had, the 02' IPC is serial data controlled as Is mine. When I hooked my 00 Camaro LS1 into my 04' Colorado, my gas gauge read backwards. My sending unit was 3 wires. Two hot wires and one ground, I swapped the 2 signal wires and it fixed my problem. I have also heard of people bending the floats to compensate for this, but I would not recommend that.

    Serial 2 data wire requires input from BCM, messing with that is a real trick. Hopefully someone more professional will post something, BUMP BUMP!!

    What PCM are you going to use? If it is an LS1b PCM---It will run the engine and dash without dual sensors.

    That PCM will run your engine, trans, gauges perfectly without dual sensors. That PCM has been in my 98 truck for 6 years now.
