Default Cluster Wiring Diagram

Does anybody have the diagram for the gauges on a 2001 s10? I'm swapping the 5.3 into my xtreme that originally came with a 2.2 and need some help with making the gauges work. i understand i have to recalibrate the tach and all. Thanks. I'll post some pics up of my truck. its not too much but i'm trying to do the most with it.

Im unsure of where to get a diagram for the guages. I didnt have to do anything to mine. Im using the computer that was for the 5.3 from the donor vehicle and it will run your factory guages just fine.

Ok. Well thanks. I'll definately leave him a message. By any chance, do I have to bypass VATS for the swap? I'm using the donor vehicles ecm that came with the motor.

Default 5.3 (rip) s10... Will now be 6.0

I just wanted to do a lil update for you guys. Unfortunately my 5.3 spun a main bearing, so the truck is under the knife right now... Getting a 6.0 . I almost have the 6.0 ready to go in. I went with a bigger cam and a set of Katech rod bolts, everything else will be the same as before. I'm kinda excited to see how this turns out

Uh oh..lol..

I can see you catching that time. I say that cause with my truck I got 12.18, stock Stall and Gears. That was on 89 gas with my street tune, and running rich..MAF wouldnt dial in, was running Test N Tune and that was the best that nite.

I have since then got it dialed in, and I'm willing to bet if I got it runnin on some 93 and spiced up the timing, it would catch 11.9X. Just a LS1 & Hotcam, Short Headers like yours.
