[*CORRECTION - "This part is the same for both models"]The next problem, is if u put back the VSS socket and complete the original wiring, ur original LE speedometer will be useless. u have to use the TRUENO/LEVIN meter cluster in order to get a speed reading for urself. I cannot suggest much in that matter, bcoz there are many solutions (both easy and hard). and yes one of them is to replace the whole dashboard to the halfcut's original one.That is all i know. the rest is up to you and the mechanic who did the transplant.</blockquote>
