Up here to the right
Didn't look like there was anything wrong with it. Was it a totalled truck? The donor had 6 miles on it?
Maybe you should've gotten the cluster too--in case you have a problem getting your stock cluster gauges to work.

So here's the story on this...

The seller is out of Michigan. Schram Auto Parts. They have this truck, and about 20 or so GMC Savana 3500 and Chevy Express 3500 Cutaway cab/chassis vans. There was a fairly significant train derailment at some point, and GM filed these on their insurance. With any suspected frame damage, these could not be legally be repaired and sold. Leaving scrapyards and other wholesalers in the area scrambling to buy them to part out.

The seller has a 99% rating on Ebay, and everything seems 100% legit at this point. Fingers crossed for a successful install!

The hardware part of the install will not require any crossed fingers.
The hiccups / burps / etc will be with the software, but they are FAR from insurmountable.

Once the kinks are ironed out, you'll make EVERYONE wonder why GM isn't making the L8T more available.
