Hey Montess2k,
Thanks, and I haven't did a video yet but this sleeper is going to surprise some people. I plan a trip to Raceway Park in Indiana and locally here to Sacramento Raceway to get some times in!!

Hey PacerSS,
You can actually use the whole center console and the shifter bolts and connects right to your shifter cable. You can probly get the whole setup for about $150.

One quick note... the cluster doesn't store the mileage in 06+, it's in the BCM.. that's why the mileage matches

1) Do your airbags work? (meaning, do you get SDM codes?)

2) What doesn't work correctly? Are the things that do not work fixable?

3) You replaced your gas and brake pedals for the drive by wire, correct?

4) Did you replace the entire dash wiring harness? Did you replace the entire body harness (save the front and rear lamp portion)

5) Do you install the amp/etc from the 06+ Monte?

6) Do you have a list of the spliced connections and the wiring colors?

Thanks

PS: While I am not a big fan of the LS4 swap... Nice work on getting it done!

1) Do your airbags work? Yes just need to get passenger side seat airbag (meaning, do you get SDM codes?) No

2) What doesn't work correctly? The only component from my original MC SS that does not work or I'm not sure if it working is my Onstar which is pre-2006 so it analog and obsolete. Are the things that do not work fixable? Yes a simple upgrade to a digital Onstar system with GPS.

3) You replaced your gas and brake pedals for the drive by wire, correct? YES and both bolt right in. The only mod I needed to do is drill one hole for the Brake Pedal Positioning Sensor which also operates the brake lights.

4) Did you replace the entire dash wiring harness? YES Did you replace the entire body harness (save the front and rear lamp portion) Correct and I spliced both with portions of my 01 MC SS wiring harness to get fully operational tail lights and head lights with fogs.

5) Do you install the amp/etc from the 06+ Monte? YES

6) Do you have a list of the spliced connections and the wiring colors? Not written down anywhere but the wires are marked so i guess i could put it in a script or how-to.
