    4l80e conversion in 1985 suburban. What parts do I need?

    My mechanical cluster is in mint condition and I like the charm of the old mechanical dash light glow over modern gauges. I found this speed box gps converter that might do the trick. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SDU-A-369

    Twitchy steering with a big travel trailer (rear sway bar help?)
