With a manunl pcm and a manual trans harness you will everything can work properly with a few minor wiring modifications.

1) The two red/blue wires that are on the truck side of the trans harness plug need to be connected to give the truck the ability to start with the key. You can either cut and splice them on the truck side of that plug (as we did) or move some pins in the trans side of the plug and make a jumper to connect them. The manual trans harness has no pins in those positions, so you'll have to put them there.

2) The two wires in the manual trans harness that go to the t-case for 4x4 lights need to swap pin locations on the trans side of the plug to match the pin locations on the truck side of the plug. They need to be moved from positions 15 and 16 to positions 5 and 6. Very simple to do, just be careful taking the back off the plug so not to break it.

3) The tan/blue wire on the clutch pedal position switch on the master cylinder push rod needs to be connected to the tan/white wire that comes out of the pcm harness off of pin #29 on the pcm. This wire goes to the small plug in the steering colum that plugs to the auto shifter for the o/d cancel button. We cut the tan/white wire right there at the small plug on the steering colum, spliced to it and ran a wire back down the colum to the clutch pedal position switch and spliced to the tan/blue wire there. That connection can also be made under the hood if trace the tan/blue wire from the main harness plug that goes through the firewall to a cruise control servo something or other. I discovered this last night while researching some wiring digrams of the cluth switch wiring.

4) With the manual pcm you will not have the romping start.

BTW! Make sure your brake light bulbs are all good, especially the third brake light. If not, your cruise won't work!! Oh yeah, it's true, it happened to us. Will drive you nuts trying to figure that one out!!!
