Message:
ok, heres the story for those who dont know
i have a 1995 v-8 with wiring harness/ engine/tranny
well, actualy the whole truck sitting in my shed (it was rolled by my little Brother) and i have the engine/tranny/transfer case pulled

i know im prolly going to have to take all the wiring to go with it intirior and extirior, not sure but im leaning that way

so i have all that figured out, hell im even taking the stearing column and wheel for all the cruise and stuff

SOOOO
the transfer case story.....

the 95 transfer case does not have the vaccum line switch for engaging and disengaging the CAD on the front axle. Rerason being the 95 has no Central Axle Disconect. so what im leaniong towards is using the transfer case out of my 1990 so the CAD line switch is there. or at least thats what im figurung im going to have to do, im not sure yet i have yet to tear into the 90. But the spedometer on my 1990 is cable driven, and if i use my transfer case does the 95 spedo run electronicly, it has to be because there is NO mecanical connections to the instrument cluster, it is all electronic. So my question is where is the spedometer sensed off from? i hope its not the axle on a 1995 and im hoping its still run off the transfer case. Possibll one of the like 3 electrical connctions to the T-case, although, if it is how will that work with my 1990 T-case
any help would greatly help me out as i plan what i have to do
the thought of putting in a switch on the dash somewhere hooked to a vaccum source to run the CAD had crossed my mind if i have to run the 95 T case

HELP ME!
this swap is taking longer than i wanted. it wouldnt be so bad if i had time to do it instead of working 6 days a week and on 2nd shift none the less
AAHHHHH
