This gauge set doesn't use the stock sending units, regardless of engine in the truck. The older VFD3-88C-PU-U. gauges does plug into stock harness, and uses the stock sending units... but you did have to pull the old moonie's out, and cut/mod the bezel for it. The only application VHX would make sense for, is a dash out, ground up, restoration with new wire harness. They look great.. but like I said.. to much hassle for 800.

You need to keep your starter solenoid wire from your park neutral safety switch plug and run it through a relay....Wiring diagram comes with the GSS-3000 to run your Relay for the starter. It sounds confusing but its not....don't get discouraged.
