Thank you -appreciate the helpful tips!

this was when I got it. it is on the road now with about 3000 miles on it since I got it together. I used a 5.3 from a 06 silverado, fly by wire setup with 4l60. I rewired the original harness and had the ecm reprogramed to remove all the unneeded stuff. mine is all stock engine wise. as it is fly by wire I have cruise control as it is built into the ecm, you just have to ad a control switch for it. if you go this route I can find the website that shows how and what to remove from the harness and how to build a fuse/relay panel.
